---|---|
What is current | Flow of electrons |
What is resistance | capacity to slow down the movement of current |
What does voltage provide? | the energy that propels the current |
What should voltmeter be hooked up to | in parallel with a resistor |
What should ammeter be hooked up to | series with a resistor on the same branch |
current | Energy moving in the wires |
voltage | energy from the battery |
conductor | allows current move through it |
open circuit | not functioning circuit |
closed circuit | allows current move through it |
conductors | gold, aluminum, steel |
insulators | glass, asphalt, fiberglass |
current can move in________, but not in___________ | conductors; insulators |
parallel circuit | more bright with more voltage and current |
series circuit | less bright with less voltage and has same current |
List current from least to greatest | C>B>A |
List current alphabetically | A=B=C |
