how to solve for an unknown value in a triangle
sohcahtoa
all angles in a triangle add to ___
180 degrees
radians in a circle
there are 2, first on the left going counterclockwise, second on the right
magnetism
the force exerted by 2 magnets
ohms law
V = IR (voltage = current*resistance)
watts law (power law)
P = VI (power = voltage*current)
what is power (electricity)
the rate of work done/transferred into an electrical circuit, measured in watts
what is power (physics equation)
P(watts) = w(joules)/time
voltage
the force that drives current through a loop, volts
current
the flow of charged particles (electrons or ions) moving through a conductor, measured in amps
resistance
the measure of the force that counteracts current on an object, measured in ohms (Ω)
current and voltage are related how
proportionally
current and resistance are related how
inversely
resistance and power are related how
proportionally
resistance and voltage are related how
proportionally
inductance
the tendency of a conductor to resist change in the current flowing through it
inductor
a component that resists changes in current flow, can also store magnetic energy
circuit
a complete path of current
inductive reactance
a measure of an inductors power, measured in ohms
DC (direct current)
voltage constant, current flows in one direction
AC (alternating current)
voltage not constant, current can change directions
electron definition
a subatomic particle with a negative charge that produces electricity when it passes through a conductor
what makes a positive/negative
charge
more protons than electrons: positive charge/more electrons than protons: negative charge. like charges repel, opposites attract
short circuit
when an unintended path forms with low resistance in a circuit, somehow skipping resistors
