What is resistance?
100
THIS circuit has only one path for electrons to flow.
What is a series circuit?
100
This charged particle does NOT move.
What is a proton?
100
What is the circuit symbol for a resistor?
200
A material in which electrons cannot travel through easily.
What is an insulator?
200
Calculate current (I). Voltage= 10V, Resistance= 20Ω. Remember to include the correct units!
What is 0.5 Amperes?
200
This circuit allows for one light to be on while the others are off.
What is a parallel circuit?
200
Why is a short circuit dangerous?
The current increases and flows back into the circuit, potentially causing fires.
200
Circuit diagram symbol for a 2 cell battery
300
Electrons flow freely through metals such as copper, gold, sliver, and aluminum.
What is a conductor?
300
Find the current through a 12-ohm resistive circuit when 24 volts is applied.
What is 2 Amps?
300
Current is divided as paths split off.
What a parallel circuit?
300
Like charges ______, and opposite charges ______.
What is repel and attract?
300
A series circuit with 2 lightbulbs and an open switch.
400
THIS component is used to supply energy to an electric circuit by converting chemical energy into electric potential energy.
What is a battery/electrochemical cell?
400
What is the resistance of a heating element that allows 15 Amps to flow when 440 V is applied to it?
What is a 29.3 Ohms?
400
Describe the trend for current and voltage in a series circuit.
Current: same throughout the entire series circuit.
Voltage: Each load loses a portion of the total voltage of the battery// Voltage lost on each load adds up to the total voltage of the battery.
400
Electrochemical cell, batteries, or electrical outlet are all...
What is a Source?
400
You can increase the current in a circuit by doing this.
What is increasing voltage?
500
A person may acquire a build up of this type of electricity using friction, conduction or induction.
What is build up of static electricity?
500
How much voltage is required to make 15 Amps flow through a 7.5 ohm resistance?
What is 112.5V?
500
What is the trend for current and resistance in a parallel circuit?
Current: splits between multiple pathways in a parallel circuit// The current through each pathway of the circuit adds up to the total current supplied by the source.
Resistance: total resistance in a parallel circuit is less than the individual resistances. Total resistance is decreased.
500
Name 3 sources of electrical energy.
What is solar energy, chemical energy, geothermal energy, nuclear energy?
500
