Voltage Flashcards
Potential difference will exist with two points with a…?
Difference in charge
Potential difference is measured in
Volts
Name of the force that drives a current through a circuit
Electromotive force
6 methods voltage can be produced
Heat, chemical, friction, induction, pressure, light
To produce a voltage chemically, the two metals plates must be
dissimilar materials
Example of voltage produced by friction
Balloon stuck to wall
3 requirements to produce voltage by induction
Movement
Magnetic field
Conductor
What determines polarity of induced voltage
Direction of movement between magnetic field and Conductor
What determines voltage produced by thermocouple
