Unit D - Electrical
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Rheostat | Continuously variable resistor used to regulate electrical current. |
| Series Circuit | Circuit in which there is only one way for the electricity to flow through. |
| Transistors | Device usually with three layers arranged such that a small resistor/voltage through the middle layer controls all outside current . |
| Integrated Circuit | Circuit of inseperable, often microscopic, components formed on the surface of a single piece or chip of semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. |
| Sustainability | Use of resources at a rate that can be maintained indefinitely without depleting the resources or harming the environment |
| Thermocouple | Device consisting of two wires of different metals joined such that a voltage is produced by temperature. |
| Armature | Rotating shaft and coil in a motor or generator. |
| Electroplating | Use of electricity to coat a thin layer of metal onto an object. |
| Ohm's Law | As long as the temperature stays constant, the resistance of a substance/conductor remains constant, and the current is directly proportional to the V applied . |
| Electrodes | Conductor through which electric current enters or leaves a device or material. |
