Electricity Basics

Front

Why is current like students rushing through a hallway?

Back

Flow rate of charge (electrons!), measured in amps (A)!

Front

How is voltage the 'peer pressure' of circuits?

Back

Electrical 'push' that makes current flow!

Front

Why do wires get hot? (Think collisions!)

Back

Resistance = electron traffic jams!

Front

V=IR is like which TikTok trend?"

Back

Pressure (V) ÷ Resistance (Ω) = Flow (I)!

Front

Where does the ammeter go? (Hint: __ series!)

Back

Always in series!

Front

Why is a voltmeter the 'nosy neighbor' of circuits?"

Back

Measures voltage in parallel!

Front

our phone charger outputs 5V at 2A. What’s its resistance?

Back

R=V/I → 2.5Ω

Front

What happens to current if resistance triples?

Back

Current drops (I=V/R)!

Front

Match: ⚡ = ? | 🔦 = ? | 🔋 = ?

Back

Voltage | Bulb | Battery

Front

How is a resistor like a bouncer?"

Back

Controls electron flow → heat!
