Resistance Flashcards
1
Q
What is resistance measured in?
A
Ohms (𝛀)
2
Q
What does higher resistance equal in?
A
Lower current and a higher temperature
3
Q
What does resistance do in a series circuit?
A
Adds up
4
Q
What does resistance do in a parallel circuit?
A
Decreases
5
Q
What is the resistance equation?
A
Resistance (𝛀) = potential difference (V) / current (A)
6
Q
Resistance in a wire?
A
As current increases so does voltage. Resistance is proportional
7
Q
Resistance in a filament bulb?
A
Resistance increases if temperature increases
8
Q
Resistance in a diode?
A
Forward resistance is low backward resistance is high
9
Q
Resistance in a thermistor?
A
Resistance decreases if the temperature increases
10
Q
Resistance in a LDR (light dependent resistor)?
A
Resistance decreases if the light intensity on it increases
