🗑
show Measure of how much "potential energy" exists to move electrons from one point to another in a circuit.  
🗑
What is current?   show
🗑
show A slowing of the flow of electrons.  
🗑
If the voltage is constant and the resistance increases, what happens to the current?   show
🗑
show The resistance decreases. (R = V/I)  
🗑
If the current is constant and the resistance increases, what happens to the voltage?   show
🗑

🗑
If the resistance is constant and the current increases, what happens to the voltage?   show
🗑
show LESS THAN.  
🗑

🗑
show The lamps will be the same brightness.  
🗑
show  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
