Basic Electricity

Front

In the WATER ANALOGY, Current can be thought of as

Back

Flowing water in a pipe.

Front

The unit for Voltage is

Back

Volts.

Front

The unit for Resistance is

Back

Ohms.

Front

Voltage is

Back

How hard electrons are pushed in a wire.

Front

Current is

Back

How many electrons are flowing in a wire.

Front

What is the relationship between Voltage, Current, and Resistance?

Back

Ohm's Law states that Voltage = Current x Resistance.

Front

What does a higher Voltage indicate?

Back

It indicates a greater potential difference, pushing electrons more forcefully.

Front

What does Resistance measure?

Back

It measures how difficult it is for electrons to flow through a material.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Power in an electrical circuit?

Back

Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) x Current (Amps).

Front

What is the role of a resistor in a circuit?

Back

A resistor limits the flow of current in a circuit.
