| Question |
Answer |
| Define direct current (DC). | Current flowing in ONE direction. |
| What are the 3 components of an electric current? | Battery, conductor, Load/resistance |
| What does a voltmeter do? | Measures the POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE between any two points in a circuit. |
| What does an ammeter do? | Measures amps and is connected in series in the circuit. |
| What is the formula for OHM's Law? | V = I x R |
| Define series circuit. | Electric circuit whose component parts are arranged end-to-end so that the current passes consecutively through each part. |
| What is the formula for a volt circuit series? | V(t) = V(1) + V(2) + V(3) |
| What is the formula for an amp circuit series? | I(t) = I(1)/R = I(2)/R = I(3)/R |
| What is the formula for a ohm circuit series? | R(t) = R(1) + R(2) + R(3) |
| Define parallel circuit. | Component parts are connected as branches of main circuit so that current is divided among them. |
| Define power. | The electric energy expended per second. |
| What is the formula for power? | P = I*V |
| What is the UNIT for power? | Watt |
| What is the formula for the amp parallel circuit? | I = i1/R + i2/R + i3/R |
| What is the formula for the voltage parallel circuit? | V = v1 = v2 = v3 |
| What is the formula for the resistance parallel circuit? | R = r1 + r2 + r3 |
