Electricity

Question 1

Electric power is typically measured in?

Answer 1

Watts

Question 2

What are the difference between direct current and alternating current?

Answer 2

Alternating current is produced from power stations and sent to our houses. Ac is cheaper to produce
Direct current comes from a direct power source like a car battery.

Question 3

What is a conductor

Answer 3

a conductor is an object or type of material that allow the flow of electrical current in one or more directions.

Question 4

What is a insulator

Answer 4

A insulator is a type of material that restricts or stops the flow of electricity or heat.

Question 5

What is electrical current

Answer 5

Electrical current is the flow of electrons in a current in one second.

Question 6

What is a series circuit

Answer 6

A series circuit is a circuit in which the electrical current has only one path to take. The current is the same through each resistor BUT the voltage is split

Question 7

What is a parallel circuit

Answer 7

A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit BUT current is the same

Question 8

What is voltage

Answer 8

an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.

Question 9

What is ohms

Answer 9

Ohms is a measure of resistance in a circuit.

Question 10

What is ohms law

Answer 10

Voltage=current*resistance
