What is an electrical current?
A flow of charge
1 of 11
In a series circuit does the current stay the same or split?
It stays the same
2 of 11
I = Q/t - What does the I stand for and what are the units?
I = Current
3 of 11
What is the unit of charge (Q)
Coulomb (C)
4 of 11
What is another word for Voltage (V)
Potential difference
5 of 11
V = E/Q - What does the E stand for and what are the units?
Energy (J)
6 of 11
Potential difference is transferred by what?
per unit charge
7 of 11
In a series circuit is potential difference shared or constant?
Shared V1 = V2 + V3
8 of 11
What does resistance measure?
How hard it is for a current to flow
9 of 11
V = IR - What does the V stand for and what are the units?
Voltage (V)
10 of 11
What does Ohms law state?
If resistance is constant, current is directly proportional to potential difference.
