Vroom vroom vocabulary
This material allows electricity to flow easily through it.
a conductor
A circuit that is not complete and no electric energy flows through it.
open
How many volts does a 1.5 volt battery supply at any given point of a closed circuit?
1.5 volts
If V = I x R, then what does R equal?
R = V/I
The study of fossils and the person who studies it.
paleontology and paleontologist
The flow of electrons.
a current
This object acts as a wall in a circuit. When it is activated, energy can flow or stop flowing through to a load.
a switch
What is the symbol for a current?
I
If the voltage is 12 volts and the resistance is 4 ohms, what is the current?
I = V / R = 3 ampers
What are the seven characteristics of an organism?
movement, reproduction, sensitivity, growth, respiration, excretion, nutrition
A complete circular path that electricity flows through.
circuit
A complete path that allows electricity to flow through a circuit.
closed
What is Ohm's Law?
Ohm's Law states that voltage (V) across a conductor is equal to the current (I) flowing through it, multiplied by the resistance (R) of the conductor, so V = I × R
If the current is 2 amperes and the resistance is 5 ohms, what is the voltage?
V = I × R = 10 volts
These are the two parts of binomial nomenclature.
Genus and species
What is electricity?
The movement of charged particles (electrons).
What produces voltage in a circuit?
A power source such as a battery.
What is a unit of electrical current?
Ampere
If the voltage is 24 volts and the current is 6 amperes, what is the resistance?
R = V / I = 4 ohms
What are 4 differences between plant and animal cells?
shape, a cell wall (plants), chloroplasts (plants), large central vacuole (plants)
The type of force that exists between particles of the same charge.
force of repulsion
The force that pushes electric current through a circuit.
voltage
What is the difference between static electricity and an electrical current?
Static electricity is non-moving (electrons build up on the surface of an object), whereas in an electrical current, electrons flow continuously through a conductor.
If the current is 1.5 amperes and the resistance is 8 ohms, what is the voltage?
V = I × R = 12 volts
Signs or feelings that indicate a disease.
symptoms
