  • ELECTRICITY
    • Electric Circuits
      • Charge- a property of a body which experience a force within an electric field.
      • Resistance-   The difficulty encountered during the flow of current. Measured in ohms
      • Potential Difference- Measure of the energy given to the charge carriers in a circuit
    • Mains Electricity
      • DC- Direct Current (not changing directions)
      • AC- Alternating Current (changing directions)
      • Household Electricity- 230v.  Plugs- Earth wire- Stops people getting electrocuted Live Wire- 230v Neutral Wire- Completes the circuit
      • Fuses- Melt to break a circuit when the voltage is too high. A safety method.
