Coulomb's Law
Coulomb's Law describes the _____ force between two charges a certain distance apart.
Ohm's Law equates the total Voltage of a circuit to resistance times what other element of the circuit?
Current
Resistors do what to the flow of the current in a circuit?
Resist/Slow it down
What is the function of a capacitor?
To temporarily store voltage and release it at a later time when required.
What is the primary unit for voltage?
Volts
Two similar charges act in what direction in relation to one another?
Away from one another
If Voltage is increased, and Resistance remains the same, what must the Current do for the circuit to remain operable.
Increase as well.
Are resistors stronger when added in parallel or in series?
Series
Are Capacitors stronger when added in parallel or in series?
Parallel
What is the difference between AC and DC voltage?
AC, or alternating current, is primarily delivered from the power plant and is both sent and received, while DC, or direct current, delivers voltage directly to the required product.
Our units for charge is normally C or Coulombs. What is the power of the charges we typically solve in problem sets?
Times 10^-9 power.
What type of energy does a circuit undergoing Ohm's Law emit?
Thermal energy (heat)
What are the uses of resistors in everyday items?
To make sure too much current doesn't flow and short-circuit items.
What are some applications of capacitors?
To shift from AC to DC voltage without having drops in overall voltage. In large-scale power grids to smooth out delivery of voltage.
What type of energy is used to generate Electricity within a battery? (Hint: think of our previous unit on energy)
Potential Energy
