General Electricity
The two different states of electricity, one stationary, the other moving.
What are static electricity and electric current?
A machine which converts mechanical energy into electric energy.
What is a generator?
According to Aristotle, understanding things in their causes.
What is knowledge?
A material which shows a certain resistance at one current and another resistance at another current.
What is a non-ohmic material?
The names for the two poles of a magnet.
What are North and South.
These are the names for the two "types" of electricity
What are positive and negative charge?
Static electricity can be caused by these two phenomena.
What are friction and induction?
Something that has neither existence nor essence.
What is a squircle? &c.
An electric lantern uses a 6-volt battery to illuminate a light bulb. The resistance of the bulb is 5.5Ω. Determine the current flowing through the light bulb.
What is 1.09 A?
An old-fashioned term for a material with magnetic properties.
What is a lodestone?
The English word 'electron' comes the Greek word for this substance, which the Ancient Greeks noticed would attract small pieces of dried leaves to itself when rubbed.
What is amber?
This type of circuit contains a non-constant current and voltage.
What is an AC or alternating current circuit?
As opposed to God, who is the necessary being, all creatures are this type of being.
What is a dependent being?
The power supply in a computer operates at 5.5 V. If this power supply is connected to a resistance of 87 kΩ, calculate what the resulting current will be. State your result in microamps.
What is 63.22 μA?
The north end of the compass points toward this pole of Earth's magnet.
What is the Earth's south pole.
The law of nature which states that electric charge cannot be created, only transfered.
This type of circuit contains constant current and voltage.
What is a DC or direct current circuit?
This ecumenical of the Catholic Church proclaimed as dogma that the existence of God can be known from human reason alone.
What is Vatican I/First Vatican Council?
This law states that resistance is constant for a given material.
What is Ohm's Law?
A material which exhibits a resistance of 0Ω at a low temperature.
What is a superconductor?
The name for charged subatomic particles
What is electric charge?
Another name for voltage.
What is potential difference?
The four causes
What are material, formal, efficient and final causes?
The current flowing in a certain microcircuit is 3.58 μA. If the resistance in this circuit is 245 kΩ, determine the voltage of the power supply running the circuit.
What is 0.877 V?
This type of magnet has never been discovered, although it could theoretically exist.
What is a monopole?
