electrical circuits
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Ohm's law | I=V\R |
I | Current(amperes)(Amps) |
V | Voltage(Volts) |
R | Resistance(ohms) |
Voltage | A force that pushes the currents through the circuit |
Resistance | Friction that increases flow of the currents through the circuit |
Current | The actual "substance" that is flowing through the wires of the circuit |
Series curcuit | A circle shape current of electricity |
Parallel circuit | A circuit with many paths for electricity |
Measuring current | Electric current is measured in amperes(Amps) using a ammeter connected in series in the circuit |
Measuring voltage | The electrical push which the cells gives to the current is called the voltage. it is measured in volts on a voltmeter |
