16
Q

Power definition

A

Rate of transfer of energy

17
Q

Resistance definition

A

Ratio of p.d to current across a component

18
Q

Ohms law

A

For an ohmic conductor at a constant temp the current is directly proportional to the p.d

19
Q

Percentage uncertainty =

A

Absolute uncertainty/measured value*100

20
Q

Resistance =

A

(Resistivity*length)/area

21
Q

When the temp increases…

A

The particles vibrate more which increases the resistance

22
Q

Resistance in a filament lamp

A

-current flowing causes temp to increase
-temp increases causes the metallic lattice to vibrate more
-more vibrations mean more frequent collisions with electrons
-increases resistance

23
Q

Resistance in a diode

A

-only conducts in one direction after threshold p.d is reached
-current increases by much greater proportion then p.d
-a protective resistor must be placed in the circuit to protect it as the diode has effectively no resistance

24
Q

Resistance in a thermistor

A

-ohmic conductor so constant temp = constant resistance
-semiconductor so more free electrons released as temp increases so more charge can be carried
-this means resistance falls as temp increases
