November 21st
Law of Conservation of energy
Energy can not be created nor destroyed only changed in form
Energy
Ability to cause change in temperature, shape, speed or direction of an object
Kinetic Energy
Energy from objects in motion depends on the mass and speed of an object
voltage
measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow through a material.
joule
Measure of the capacity to do work or generate heat
parallel circuit
multiple branches for electricity to flow
ohms law
Voltage = current x resistance
Electrodes
Good conductor of electricity that usually, connects non-metals circuit
Series Circuit
Only 1 path for the electric Current to follow
Energy Transformation
The change of energy from one form to another
Electricity
The form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles
Transformers
Device that transfers some electric energy from one current to another
Alternating Current
The value of the quantity and direction of the current is not constant. It changes at a regular interval
Semiconductors
It conducts sometimes but not others
Resistance
The measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow through a material
