Electricity Flashcards
1
Q
What are the properties of A series circuit?
A
Current at any point is the same as the current at any other point
Potential difference is shared between the components.
Adding resistors increases the total resistance.
2
Q
What are the properties of A parallel circuit?
A
Current is shared between branches
Potential difference is the same across each component
Adding resistors decreases the total resistance.
3
Q
What is current?
A
A flow of charged particles
4
Q
What is Potential difference?
A
the energy transferred per unit of charge
5
Q
What is resistance?
A
The physical property of a substance that opposes the flow of current. Electrons.
6
Q
What is Ohms law?
A
Current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
7
