Energy and electricity Flashcards
Types of fuels
fuels come in liquid gas solid forms
Fuels you use depend on
what is there the cost what its used for
what is current measured in
amps
What are ammeters
Ammeters must be connected in series in a circuit so they can measure how much current passes through them
What is a electrical conductor
a material that allows current to pass through is a electrical conductor
What is a non-electrical conductor
a material that does not is called a electrical insulator
What are 2 types of circuits
series- all the components are connected in s complete loop
parallel- have more than one loop
What is current
the electricty passing through the circuit
What does branching off mean
It means that itt wont go onto anther loop or direction or path
What would happen if anther light bulb is added to a circuit
It would become dimmer as the electrical current has to supply more than one bulb
why wont a circuit work if 1 component is taken out
Because the circuit would be incomplete
What does component mean
A cell or piece of electrical equipment
If you see a letter āIā at a circuit diagram what does that mean
It mean that the current
Is the current all the same at every point in a series circuit
Yes
What is the equation of a series circuits current
I (1) = I (2) = I (3)
