Paper 1 Flashcards
What is current
the flow of electrons in a circuit
What is voltage
its what pushes electrons in a circuit
What is formula for electric potential diff
V=E/Q
what is ohms law
V=IR
what is the charge of one coulumb
6.25x10 to the 18
Electric current formula
I=q/t
what is electric potential difference
The change in electric potential energy associated with charges at two different points in a circuit.
what is electric potential energy
it’s the energy required to cause electrons to push other electrons through all loads in a circuit.
voltmeters only work accurately in what and same question for ammeter
voltmeter - parrallel CUZ objects in parallel experience the same potential difference. SO ITS GOOD FOR CHECKING STUFF
ammeter - series so it can get all the current flow and be apart of current
basics what is a circuit
a closed-loop that carries electricity
