Current is:
the flow of electrons in a circuit
To use electricity we need the electrons to
to flow in the same direction around a circuit.
To make electrons to move around a circuit, we need to apply a (a)
Voltage is the pushing (a)
The more voltage we have, the more (a)
More voltage = (a)
More current = (a)
If too many electrons pass through the cable or the lamp, then they will
(a)
We refer to the flow of electrons as (a) and we measure this in the unit of (b) or just (c) , represent with (d)
AC = (a)
DC = (a)
The plugs in your home provide (a)
Electrical devices like laptops and mobile phones use: (a)
A cable with a lot of electrons flowing through it has (a)
We measure the flow of current in a circuit using an (a) and the units are (b) .
If we reduce the voltage then less electrons will flow and the lamp will become (a) To measure the current in a circuit we need to connect the ammeter in series so that the current will flow (b) it.
Because it’s in series, then all the electrons in the circuit are flowing along the (a) . When the bulbs are wired in parallel, the path for the electrons is (b) so the electrons are shared, some flow through (c) and some flow through (d) To restrict the amount of current that can flow, we can add (e) . These act like speed bumps and slow the electrons down.
Fuses in a basic sense have a thin piece of (a) inside them which is rated to handle a certain amount of (b) flowing through them.
A circuit breaker is a (a) that will automatically open to break the (b) if it detects too much (c) or too many (d) flowing through it, it’s rated to handle a certain (e) of electrons flowing through it per second.
How can a circuit breaker save your life?
