16
Q

What is the definition of resistance ?

A

The amount of that it slows down the current in the circuit

17
Q

Explain how the wider and shorter the wire affects the resistance?

A

The less the resistance because there is less friction

18
Q

Explain how the the thinner and longer the wire affects the resistance?

A

The more resistance because there is more friction

19
Q

What happens if opposite charges go together?

A

They attract

20
Q

What happens if like charges come together?

A

They repel

21
Q

What circuit is it when all the components are in a single loop?

A

A series circuit

22
Q

What circuit is it when all the components are in multiple loops?

A

A parallel circuit

23
Q

What is a positive particle called?

24
What is a negative particle called?
Electrons
25
If there are 0.10 amps in the battery coming out how many are going in the other way?
0.10 amps
26
Why do the electrons go a certain way?
Because they are attracted to the positive end of the battery because the electrons are negatively charged
27
What happens with the current in a series circuit?
It stays the same
28
What happens to the current in a parallel circuit?
The current is shared equally
29
What happens to the voltage in a series circuit?
The energy is equally shared
30
What happens to the voltage in a parallel circuit?
The energy stays the same
31
What is a material that allows a flow of charge to pass through it?
Conductor
32
What is a material that doesn’t allow a flow of charge to pass through it?
Insulator
33
What does a switch do?
You can physically stop the flow of charge in a circuit
34
Does metal have a high or low resistance?
Low
35
In an atom structure what is the stuff that goes around the edge?
Electron
36
In an atom structure what is the neutron and proton called?
Nucleus
37
In an atom structure what is the positive energy in the nucleus called?
Proton
38
In an atom structure what is the uncharged particle in the nucleus?
Neutron
39
How does static electricity work?
It is when there is an imbalance of charges in an object.
40
How do you calculate resistance?
Resistance = Volatge DIVIDED BY Current
