Electricity

What is a Conductor?

• A material that does not allow electrons to move.

• A material in which electrons are able to move easily.

• A type of insulator used in electrical circuits.

• A device that generates electricity.

What is a Parallel Circuit?

• A circuit where multiple paths exist for current to flow, allowing components to operate independently.

• A circuit that has only one path for current to flow.

• A circuit that only allows current to flow in one direction.

• A circuit that uses resistors in series to limit current.

What is a Series Circuit?

• A circuit where components are connected in a single path, so the same current flows through all components.

• A circuit that allows multiple paths for current to flow.

• A circuit that only works with alternating current.

• A circuit that has no resistance and allows infinite current to flow.

What is Ohm's Law?

• A principle stating that current is inversely proportional to voltage.

• A fundamental principle stating 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). Formula: V = I × R.

• A law that describes the relationship between power, voltage, and current.

• A theorem that states resistance is constant regardless of voltage.

What is Current?

• The flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A).

• The resistance to the flow of electric charge, measured in ohms (Ω).

• The potential difference that drives electric charge, measured in volts (V).

• The energy consumed by electric charge, measured in joules (J).

What is Resistance?

• The ability of a material to conduct electricity without any opposition.

• The tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons, changing electrical energy into thermal energy and light.

• The measure of how much electrical energy is stored in a material.

• The process of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.

What is a Load in a Circuit?

• A component that generates electrical energy

• Any component in a circuit that consumes electrical energy, such as a light bulb or resistor.

• A type of electrical switch

• A measurement of electrical resistance

What is a Circuit?

• A closed loop that allows electric current to flow, consisting of a power source, conductors, and a load.

• A device that stores electrical energy for later use.

• A type of resistor used to control current flow.

• A method of measuring electrical resistance.

What is Direct Current (DC)?

• Electric current that flows in one direction only.

• Electric current that alternates direction periodically.

• Electric current that is generated by batteries only.

• Electric current that can flow in multiple directions.

What is Electric Discharge?

• The release of stored electric charge, often resulting in a spark or shock.

• A method of generating electricity using solar panels.

• The process of charging a battery using a generator.

• A phenomenon where electricity flows through a vacuum.
