Ohm's Law
100
This law states that the force of attraction between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is Coulomb's Law?
100
Each electron in a circuit is referred to as this term.
What is a Coulomb?
100
This is an electronic device serving as a source of electric power.
What is a battery?
100
This circuit is characterized by its one path and 0 junctions.
What is a series circuit?
100
This is an electric device that opposes an electric current.
What is a resistor?
200
This law states that the total charge of an isolated system before an event equals the total electric charge after the event.
What is the Law of Conservation of Charge?
200
A voltage of 1 V supplies this to a circuit.
What is 1 J of energy?
200
This is the rate of flow of electric charge; the number of coulombs passing a point in one second and is measured in Amperes.
What is current?
200
This circuit is characterized by having more than one path, and one or more junctions.
What is a parallel circuit?
200
This is the SI unit for resistance.
What is Ohms?
300
This is a negatively charged particle responsible for carrying charge through a circuit.
What is and electron?
300
True or False: In a circuit, the battery supplies the energy and the lightbulb uses the energy.
What is True?
300
This is the SI unit of charge.
What is a Coulomb?
300
In this type of circuit, if one lightbulb goes out, the others remain on.
What is a parallel circuit?
300
This is one form of the equation for Ohm's Law
What is V=RI, I=V/R, or R=V/I?
400
Two identical spheres are mounted on insulated stands. The first sphere has a charge of -1. The second sphere has a charge of -3. After the spheres touch, what will the charge on each be?
What is -2?
400
A current of 2 A means that this amount of Coulombs pass through a given point in a circuit at a time.
What is 2 Coulombs?
400
This is the energy (in Joules) for each coulomb of charge and is measured in Volts.
What is Voltage?
400
This is the symbol for a battery in a circuit is this.
