100
This is the unit used for measuring current
What is an ampere
100
This device will measure the voltage across a piece of a circuit
What is a voltmeter
100
Refer to diagram 1 and this light will change if the switch is opened
What is Bulb #3
100
This is the unit for energy that each charge can carry
What is a joule
100
This is the symbol used in circuit diagrams for a 2-cell battery
What is this drawing
200
Current will split up along different pathways in this type of circuit segment
What is parallel
200
Voltage will do this when a second battery is added in series
What is increase
200
This type of circuit will not work if the components are connected like this
What is connected in series
200
This is a closed path through which electrons can flow
What is a circuit
200
Loads are connected in this way so that any malfunction in one load will not affect the others
What is a parallel connection
300
This device, connected in this way, will measure current
What is an ammeter connected in series
300
Two bulbs that are connected in parallel with a 6.0 V battery will each have this voltage reading.
What is 6.0 V
300
You will get this kind of circuit if there are no loads on a pathway
What is a short circuit
300
A switch is "this" when a circuit will not work
What is open
300
Fuses and open switches have these circuit diagram symbols
What are these diagrams
400
An ammeter will give the same reading at all locations on this type of circuit
What is a series circuit
400
Connecting more cells in parallel will do this to the voltage of the power source
What is keeping it the same
400
Refer to diagram 2 to show that bulb #3 has a voltage reading of this
What is 3.25 V
400
This is required in a circuit in order to avoid having a short circuit
What is a load
400
Connecting your cells in this way will decrease how long they last
What is connected in series
500
This much current passes through an iPhone if 120 C of charge goes through the circuit in 2 minutes.
What is 1 A
500
This much energy is being carried by 60 C of charge if the voltage of a battery is 10.0 V
What is 600 J
500
Refer to diagram 3 to show that these bulbs are still on if bulb #2 is unscrewed
What are bulbs 3,4,5
500
This is defined as the amount of charge that passes through a circuit for a given amount of time.
What is current
500
A circuit contains one 3.0 V battery and 4 bulbs in parallel. A switch is placed so that it will control 2 bulbs. A voltmeter measures the potential difference across the battery, and an ammeter measures the current before the last bulb. This is what its circuit diagram looks like
