QuestionAnswer
What are two kinds of current? alternating(AC) and Direct (DC)
A flow of electric charge that regularly reverses its direction Alternating Current (AC)
Electric current that flows in only one direction Direct Current (DC
A flow of electric charge that passes a location every second. electric current
The unit of current Ampere (A)

Unit for resistance Ohms
Amount of work required to move each unit of charge between two point. PUSH Voltage
Unit for Volatage Volts (V)
A material in which charges can move freely Electrical Conductor
A material in which charges cannot move freely Electrical Insulator
What affects electric current? (2) Voltage and Resistance
Example of Direct current would be ? Flashlight or outlet Flashlight

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.
