Calculations
-Circuit Diagrams (draw)
-I / V calculations
-Bring formula sheet
Cell/battery (circuit component)
Electrical source, longer side is the positive terminal, shorter side is the negative terminal
Light bulb (circuit component)
Specific load, converts electricity into light and heat
Resistor (circuit component)
Generator load, converts electricity to heat
Switch (circuit component)
Opens and closes the circuit
Ammeter (circuit component)
Device used to measure the current in a circuit
Voltmeter (circuit component)
Device used to measure the potential difference between two locations in a closed circuit
Fuse (circuit component)
Delivers usable electrical circuit over current safety
Charging by contact (charging method)
Charging process in which electrons transfer from the charged object to the neutral object that it touches
Conduction (charging method)
Movement or transmission of electric charges through a substance
Induction (charging method)
Movement of electrons within a substance, caused by nearby charged object, without direct contact between the substance and obiect
Friction (charging method)
-example of static electricity
-two things rubbing against each other.
-can make obiects slow down or heat up
Triboelectric series
Higher on list = weaker
Lower on list = stronger
