Science~Electricity

QuestionAnswer
current the rate of electron flow past a given point in a circuit
the symbol for current is I
current is measured in amperes(A)
current is measured by an ammeter
ammeters must be connected in series
potential difference-voltage The amount of energy they lose is the potential difference or voltage drop, the electrical energy stored in a battery is potential difference or voltage rise
the symbol for potential difference/voltage is V
potential difference/voltage is measured in volts(V)
potential difference/voltage is measured by a voltmeter
voltmeters must be connected in parallel
resistance a property of a substance that hinders motion and converts electrical energy to other forms of energy
the more difficult it is for an electron to get through a circuit the greater the resistance
the symbol for resistance is R
resistance is measured in ohms
resistance is measured by an ohmmeter
1 of the four characteristics that affect the resistance of a wire-length the longer the wire the more resistance it offers
2 of the four characteristics that affect the resistance of a wire-area(width) the thinner the wire the more resistance it offers
3 of the four characteristics that affect the resistance of a wire-temperature the hotter the wire the more resistance it offers
4 of the four characteristics that affect the resistance of a wire-material the lower the conductivity the more resistance it offers
if the resistance stays the same and the current increases the voltage will increase
if the voltage stays the same and the resistance increases the current will decrease
if the current stays the same and the voltage increases the resistance will increase

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
