circuits
what is a closed circuit?
contacts are touching and electricity can flow between them
what is volt?
A volt is the measure of electric pressure
what is a resistor?
A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit.
what is a circuit?
A closed path through which an electric current flows or may flow
what does amp short for?
amplifier
what is a safety switch?
A safety switch is a device that quickly switches off the electricity supply if an electrical fault is detected
what is a open circuit?
It is a broken path for an electrical current due to an open switch or frayed wire
what is a fuse?
a fuse is an electrical safety device that stops the currents from flowing if it is overloaded
what is a circuit diagram?
A circuit diagram is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit
what is a series circuit?
A series circuit is a closed circuit in which the current follows one path
what is a current?
a flow of electric charge
what is a battery?
A connected group of one or more electrochemical cells that store electric charges and generate direct current
what is a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit is a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths
what is OHMS law?
A law relating the voltage difference between two points
what is a wire?
A wire is a flexible metallic conductor used to carry electric current in a circuit.
