To prevent chortle circuits
An electrical pathway that makes a loop.
What is a circuit?
The flow of an electric charge.
What is an Electric current?
This is the formula for voltage.
What is V=IR?
The basic unit of power.
What is Watt?
The time rate of doing work.
What is Power?
A closed loop in which the current follows a single path.
What is a series circuit?
Electrons move in one direction.
What is a direct current?
This represents Resistance in the formula.
What is R?
A resistor whose resistance value changes with its operating temperature.
What is a Thermistor?
This is the formula for power.
What is Power = work / time?
A circuit with a break, either a switch or malfunction in which current cannot flow.
What is a open circuit?
Electrons flow in both directions.
What is an Alternating current?
This represents Voltage in the formula.
What is V?
Increasing the applied V produces more current, but I does not increase in the same proportion as the increase in V.
What is Nonlinear Resistance?
This is how to find work.
What is Work = power × time?
A circuit with no breaks, in which current can flow continuously.
What is a closed circuit?
The standard unit of measurement for an electrical charge.
What is Coulomb?
This represents current in the formula.
What is I?
A constant value of ohms. Its R does not change with the applied voltage, so V and I are directly proportional.
What is Linear Resistance?
This is the unit of measurement for work.
What is Joule?
A circuit where all components are connected between the same set of electrically common points.
What is a parallel circuit?
The unit of measurement for an electric current.
What is Ampere?
The 2 other formula's on Ohms law.
What is I = V/R and R= V/I?
In an electrical circuit, the current passing through most materials is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across them.
What is Ohm's law?
This is who Watt's were named after.
Who is James Watt?
