Term | Definition |
---|---|
BATTERY | a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power. |
CIRCUIT | is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow. |
OPEN CIRCUIT | through which current cannot flow because the path is broken or interrupted by an opening. |
CONDUCTOR | conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of an electrical current in one or more directions. ... |
TRANSFORMER | is the static device which works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. |
VOLTAGE | is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light. |
KILOWATT | If energy is transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy,hours is equal to the power. |
STATIC | is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge |
