Friction
What is electric current?
A continuous flow of electrons
What is electric power?
Rate at which a device changes electricity into another form of energy
What is a series circuit?
Uses the same wire
What is the label for voltage?
Direct contact
Conduction
What is electric current measured in?
Measured in amperes (A) - symbol is I
What is it measured in?
Measured in Watts of Kilowatts
What is a parallel circuit?
Has multiple paths
What is the label for resistance?
Ohm=Resistance
The movement of charge within a material because of another charged object
Polarization
What are the 2 types of electric current?
DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current)
Power(watts)= Current(amps) multiplied by Voltage(volts)
