There is a single pathway for electron flow between the terminals of a battery
What is a series circuit?
100
An electrical device that can be set to more or less current flow
What is a potentiometer?
100
You have a complete circuit with no gaps in the wires
What is a continuous flow of electrons
100
Voltage/Current
What is resistance equal to?
100
how much voltage is used by each resistor
What is Voltage drop?
200
The current passing through each resistor is the same
What is the current in a series circuit?
200
An electrical device that activates and deactivates current flow
What is a switch?
200
This current is found in most batteries
What is Direct current?
200
If switch A = 1 and Switch B = 0 then electrical current is flowing
What is a OR Gate
200
A term used to designate electrical pressure
What is Voltage
300
The voltage is the same across each device
What is the voltage in a parallel circuit
300
These are used to reduce the power supply
What are resistors?
300
An iron rod with a copper wire passed around it so that it becomes magnetized when electric current passes through the copper wire
What is an electromagnet?
300
As the number of branches increases, so does the over all resistance of the circuit decrease.
What is resistance in a parallel circuit?
300
The unit of electrical current
What is a ampere?
400
The current in the circuit will decrease because of this
What happens when you add more resistance to the circuit?
400
this device allows current to flow in one direction only
What does a diode do?
400
This current is found most in household circuits in the US
What is alternating current?
400
When a battery has a 9V power supply what is the current flowing in a wire before it branches off into three separate resistors with the following values 15 , 20 & 10? Hint: find the total resistance first
26.1 A
400
A semiconductor device with three connections, capable of amplification in addition to rectifications
