Waves & Circuits

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored due to an object's position.

Front

What are the strongest wave lengths?

Back

Radio Waves are the strongest wave lengths.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where parts are connected one after another, with only one path for the current to take. If one bulb goes out, they all go out.

Front

What is an electrical circuit?

Back

An electrical circuit is a path in which an electrical current can travel.

Front

What is the definition of waves?

Back

Waves are disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

Transverse waves have oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, while longitudinal waves have oscillations parallel to the direction of wave travel.

Front

What is frequency in relation to waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

What is voltage?

Back

Voltage is the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit, which drives the current.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, providing multiple paths for the current.
