What is electric current.
A measure of the rate of flow of charge through a point in a circuit.
2 of 9
An Ohmic conductor..
Has a consant resistance when voltage and current change.
3 of 9
What is potential energy?
The energy in Joules transfered to a component for each coulomb of charge that passes through it.
4 of 9
Thermistors are made from....
Semiconducting material
5 of 9
In a potential divider circuit.....
Voltage is shared between resistors in the same ratio as their resistances.
6 of 9
What does the volume control on a radio use?
A potentiometer
7 of 9
Why are solar cells connected in parallel rather than series?
There is less internal resistance and therefore more ouput current when connected in Parallel.
