What charge does an electron have?

Negative

100

This is the same at all points

Current

100

This increases with each loop but is shared across parallel loops

Current

100

The circuit symbol for a lamp

Circle with an X in it

100

This equation is known as Ohm's Law

V = I x R

200

A positive charge and a negative charge will....

Attract

200

This has to be shared across all components

Potential Difference

200

If one bulb breaks. How will the other bulbs be affected?

Brighter / Would stay on

200

This circuit symbol is a blank rectangle 

Resistor

200

Current is the rate of flow of charge. How does that look in an equation?

I = Q / t

300

This force causes static charge to build up

Friction

300

Adding more bulbs will make them ______ overall

Darker/Dimmer

300

This piece of equipment needs to be wired in parallel

Voltmeter

300

The symbol for the equipment used to measure Potential Difference

Circle with V in it

300

What is Resistance if Voltage is 9V and Current is 3A?

R = V/I 

9/3 = 3 Ohms

400

Static charge builds up when the _____ move from one material to another

Electrons

400

In series, Resistance ____  __

Adds up

400

This decreases and the total is lower than the lowest individual value

Resistance

400

This symbol is a circle with an arrow inside it. Looks like a play button

Diode

400

An Ammeter measures 120 Coulombs of charge over a period of 1 minute. What is the current?

120/60 = 2A

500

Static charge only builds up on these types of materials

Insulators

500
A circuit with 4 bulbs have P.Ds of 3V, 6V, 2V, and 7V. What is the rating of the battery?

3+6+2+7 = 18V

500

Battery has a rating of 10V and two parallel loops with bulbs on them. What is the Potential Difference across 1 bulb?

10V

500

Describe the circuit symbol for a thermistor

Rectangle with diagonal line through it

500

Calculate the Power in a circuit with current 5A and Resistance 4 Ohms

P = I2R

P = 52 x 4

P = 25 x 4 = 100W
