Quiz Series and Parallel
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Series | 1) one current path 2)current is equalin all component parts of the circuit 3)the total line voltage equals the sum of the volt drops around the circuit loop 4) the total resistance equals the sum of the individual resistance values |
Parallel | 1)has more than one current path 2)volage is equal at all component parts of the circuit 3) the total line current equals the sum of the branch currents |
Parallel | 4)The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the branch resistance 5)The total reistance of the circuit wil be less than the value of the smallest individual resistor |
Ohm's Law | V=IxR I=V/R R=I/V |
Resistance | energy move electron give up energy |
Electric Circuit | 1)Source(force) 2)Path 3)Load |
Electron | The atomic particle having a negative charge |
Proton | The atomic particle having a positive charge |
Neutron | The atomic particle having a neutral charge |
Electron and Proton | found in the atom's nucleus |
Neutron | The particle that orbits the nucleus of the atom |
Matter | anything that has weight and occupies space |
Solid, Liquid, Gas | Three physical states of matter |
Elements, Compounds, Mixtures | Three chemical states of matter |
Molecule | The smallest particle that a compound can be divided into but retain its physical properties |
Atom | The smallest particle that an element can be divided into but retain its physical properties |
Ionization | when an electron is torn from a neutral atom, leaving a positive ion, or when an electron is added to a neutral atom, producing a negative ion |
Electrical Circuits | closed paths designed to cary, manipulate, or control electron flow for some purpose |
Energies that change electrical balance | the ability to control the movement of electrons, or electron flow is the basis of lectronics. Some common sources of energy causing electron movement or separation of charge |
Energies that change electrical balance | Friction(static electricity), chemical energy(batteries), mechanical energy(a generator or alternator), magnetic energy, light energy, heat energy |
Conductors | gold,silver, and copper have many free electrons. These materials conduct electron movement easily because their outmost ring contains one,two or three electrons rather eight electrons needed for atomic stability |
Semiconductor | materials that are halfway between the conductor's characterisitc of few outmost shell electrons and stable. Semiconductors materials have four outermost ring electrons. Germanium and silicaon are examples of semiconductor materials |
Insulator Materials | do not allow easily allow electron movement becasue their five to eight outermost shell electrons are tightly bound to the atom. Glass and ceramic are example |
