circuits
an electrical circuit where all the components are connected in a single line, with only one path for the current to flow
series curcuit
what is the equation to find voltage
V=Ix R
a material that allows electrons to move through it
conductor
an electrical circuit where the current has multiple paths to flow through
parallel circuit
what is the equation to find Resistance
R=v/I
a material that does not allow electricity to move through it
insulator
what do you not need to complete a circuit
switch
what is the equation to current
I=V/R
the type of wire that conducts electricity best
a thick short wire
An unintended connection between two points of the circuit with low resistance allows the current to travel along an unexpected path
short circuit
electric current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points
ohms law definition
copper is a good
conductor
The path is broken, so the current doesn't flow
open circuit
If the Voltage is 110V and the resistor is 10 Ohms, what is the current
11 amps
true or false: plastics are good conductors
false plastics are lnsulators
