Answer 9

an instrument used to measure electric current in a circuit

Question 10

amperes

Answer 10

unit of electric current

Question 11

current

Answer 11

the net movement of electrons through a conductor. Often defined as the net amount change passing through a conductor at a given point per unit time

Question 12

parallel circuit

Answer 12

a circuit in which current flows only in one closed path

Question 13

series circuit

Answer 13

a circuit in which current flows in only one closed path

Question 14

volts

Answer 14

unit of electrical potential

Question 15

voltage

Answer 15

especially a measure of the work associated with moving an electric charge from one point to another

Question 16

voltmeter

Answer 16

an instrument that measures electrical potential, or voltage, across a component or components in a circuit

Question 17

Characteristics of wet cell batteries

Answer 17

electrolyte- liquid

Question 18

What do wet and dry cell batteries?

Answer 18

batteries, transfer energy, cell, positive and negative terminals, electrodes, and electrolytes

Question 19

Describe the relationship between batteries and current

Answer 19

I think how batteries are connected affects the current, it can also affect the current speed

Question 20

How does series or parallel affect the electrical current?

Answer 20

In a series batteries add flow when increasing batteries. In parallel the current has more places

Question 21

How are voltmeters and ammeters similar and different?

Answer 21

They are similar because they are used to measure stuff. They are different because they use different units.

resistors

Answer 24

an electrical component that restricts the flow of electric current

Question 25

resistance

Answer 25

a property of a material that determines it’s ability to allow current to flow through it

Question 26

If you increase the voltage the (blank) increases as well

Answer 26

current
