5F Electrical Energy Transfer

The process of moving electrical energy from one point to another, often through conductors in a circuit.

Newtons (N) are used to measure force.

The overall force acting on an object after all the individual forces are combined.

Voltage is the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit, measured in volts.

A device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy, providing a voltage difference.

A long line (positive terminal) and a short line (negative terminal) representing the two terminals of the battery.

Ohm's Law states that Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R).

Volts (V) are used to measure voltage.

A circuit provides a closed loop for electrical current to flow, allowing energy transfer.

AC (Alternating Current) changes direction periodically, while DC (Direct Current) flows in one direction.
