Ohms.
What is the function of a Power Source/Battery?
Power Supply.
What is the function of Wires?
Conduction.
What is the function of a Lightbulb/Motor?
Energy Transformation.
What is the function of a Switch?
Control.
What is the function of a Resistor?
Opposes the flow of electrical current.
What is the function of a Fuse?
Protection.
What is the function of an Ammeter?
Measures the current flowing through a circuit.
What is the function of a Voltmeter?
Measures the voltage flowing through the circuit.
How is an ammeter connected within a circuit?
It’s placed within the circuit.
How is a voltmeter connected in a circuit?
It’s placed outside of the circuit.
What is a difference between a series circuit and parallel circuit?
A series circuit only has one path, while a parallel has more than one.
If a switch is closed, what happens?
Electrons flow through the circuit.
If a switch is open, what happens?
The flow of electrons is interrupted, and electricity will not happen.
