Electricity Unit Flashcard Part 1

Front

What do like poles of a magnet do?

Back

Repel each other.

Front

In a series circuit, how are the parts connected?

Back

All parts are connected in a single path.

Front

What type of energy does a generator produce?

Back

Electrical energy.

Front

What happens to resistance when the length of the wire increases?

Back

Resistance increases (electrons flow slower).

Front

What type of input does a generator require to produce electricity?

Back

Mechanical input.

Front

What is the definition of electrical resistance?

Back

The opposition to the flow of electric current.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where all components are connected along a single path.

Front

What is the effect of increasing voltage in a circuit?

Back

It increases the current if resistance remains constant.

Front

What is the unit of electrical resistance?

Back

Ohm (Ω).

Front

What is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance?

Back

Ohm's Law: V = I × R (Voltage = Current × Resistance).
