FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. It can be expressed as I = V/R.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is electrical resistivity?

Back

Electrical resistivity is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is typically expressed in ohm-meters (Ω·m). Materials with high resistivity are insulators, while those with low resistivity are conductors.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows the flow of electric current with minimal resistance. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that resists the flow of electric current. Examples include rubber, glass, and plastic.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In a series circuit, components are connected end-to-end, so the same current flows through all components. In a parallel circuit, components are connected across common points, allowing multiple paths for current to flow.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens in a series circuit if one component fails?

Back

If one component in a series circuit fails (like a light bulb), the entire circuit stops working because the current cannot flow.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens in a parallel circuit if one component fails?

Back

If one component in a parallel circuit fails, the other components continue to work because there are multiple paths for the current to flow.
