Electronics

Question 0

Current

Answer 0

The flow of electrons

Question 1

Circuit

Answer 1

Pathway through which electric current flows

Question 2

Voltage

Answer 2

The pressure/push of electricity

Question 3

Parallel circuits

Answer 3

2 or more pathways, lights brighter, each component has its own pathway to battery

Question 4

Series circuits

Answer 4

Shared pathway, light is dim because if shared voltage throughout components

Question 5

Short circuit

Answer 5

Pathway cutting off components

Bypasses your intended pathway b/c there is no resistance in the way; shortcut

Question 6

Resistor

Answer 6

Component that slows down flow of electrons

Question 7

How do different size resistors affect brightness of bulb

Answer 7

Literal size doesn’t matter

‘Big’ ‘small’ refers to amount of resistance, more meaning less resistance, brighter lights

Question 8

Resistance

Answer 8

Opposition to the flow of electrons in a circuit

Question 9

Decode a resistor

Answer 9

Blk/br/r/o/y/g/b/I/v/gry/w

Question 10

Voltage drop

Answer 10

Is the voltage used at a component

Question 11

Anode

Answer 11

Negative terminal

Question 12

Cathode

Answer 12

Positive terminal

Question 13

What chemical reaction creates different charges required to create flow of electrons?

Answer 13

Chemical reaction between electrolyte(acid) zinc anode and copper cathode

Question 14

Alternating current

Answer 14

Comes from generators such as electrical outlets

Question 15

DC current

Answer 15

Produced in batteries

Question 16

Electric motor

Answer 16

Attracting and repelling forces create rotational movement

Question 17

First truth of circuits

Answer 17

The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage at the components

Question 18

2nd truth of circuits

Answer 18

Greater the resistance at a component, greater the voltage drop of the components in the circuit

Question 19

Relationship between voltage of power source and voltage drops at components in the circuit

Answer 19

The sum of the voltage drop will equal the total voltage from the power source

Question 20

Relationship between resistance of the component and voltage drop of the components in a circuit

Answer 20

?

Question 21

What happens when batteries are in parallel

Answer 21

Only one of the batteries provides voltage for components

Question 22

What happens when batteries are in series?

Answer 22

The voltage of the components will be the sum of the batteries combined

Question 23

Answer 24

Within a conductor

Question 25

What are cells?

Answer 25

Electromechanical devices that convert chemical new fry into electrical energy within a battery

Question 26

Parts if a battery

Answer 26

Copper cathode-positive terminal/electrode | Zinc anode-negative terminal/electrode

Question 27

What is the movement of electrical charge balanced by?

Answer 27

By the movement if ions

Question 28

What is a battery?

Answer 28

Transportable device which stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy when needed Partly by separating negative and positive charges

Question 29

What part of the battery is the electrolyte?

Answer 29

Conductor of electricity

Question 30
