Science- Electricity Flashcards
1
Q
Current
A
The movement of electrons through a circuit Ammeter device measures current The unit for current is I Current is measured in amps Current= voltage DIVIDED BY resistance
2
Q
Voltage
A
The energy to push electrons through a circuit
Voltmeter is a device used to measure current voltage is measured in volts volts
Current (I) multiplied resistance
Also called potential difference
3
Q
Resistance
A
The slowing down of electrons
Ohmmeter is a device used to measure resistance
Resistance is measured in Ohm Ω
Resistance = voltage DIVIDED BY current
