Electricity (Chapter P4) Flashcards
What do 2 objects with the same charge do
They repel from each other
What do 2 objects with different charges do
They attract each other
What is the equation for charge
Charge = Current x time
What is charge measured in
Coulombs, C
What is current measured in
Amperes, A
What way does the electron flow go in a circuit
To the right of the battery
What way does the conventional direction go in a circuit
To the left of the battery
What is the equation for potential difference
Potential difference = Energy transferred/Charge
What is potential difference measured in
Volts, V
What is energy transferred measured in
Joules, J
What is the equation for resistance
Resistance = Voltage/Current
What is resistance measured in
Ohms
How does the resistance of a wire change if the length increases
It increases as well
What does “in series” mean
It means when a component is in the same circuit as the the rest of the components
What does “in parallel” means
It means when the component is branched off the main circuit
