Electricity Flashcards
What is the unit of Current?
A ampere
What is the unit of Charge?
C coulomb
What is the unit of Energy?
J joules
What is Ω for?
ohm resistant
What is the relationship between power, current and voltage? (full word formula)
power = current x voltage
What is current?
The rate if flow of charge round the circuit.
What does electrons do?
Carry the charge.
What is voltage?
What drives the current round the circuit.
What is resistance?
Anything in the circuit that slows the flow of charge
What is the relationship between voltage and resistance?
The voltage is pushing the the current around the circuit while resistacne is opposing it.
If you ______ the voltage, the more current will flow.
increase
If you increase the resistance , the _____ current will flow.
less
What is the difference between sries circuit and parallel circuit? (components)(current)
In series circuit, components are connected in a line while in parallel circuit they are seperate. If you remove one component from the sries circuitm, the circuit will break down but if you do the same to the parallel circuit, it won’t.
What is the relationship between charge, current and time? (full words formula)
charge = current x time
What is the relationship between energy transferred, charge and voltage?
energy transferred = charge x voltage
