Physics - Energy, Charge and Potential Difference

?
_____ store potential energy (PE) that's transferred to charges of a circuit as kinetic energy (KE)
cells / batteries
1 of 8
this is commonly called ___ energy
electrical
2 of 8
all circuit components have resistance. true?
yes
3 of 8
___ works againsts resistance, resulting in an energy transfer from charages to bulb
current
4 of 8
charges transfer energy to resistor, heating it. This energy is emitted as ___ energy
thermal
5 of 8
define potential difference (PD).
Amount of electrical energy transferred by each coulomb of charge
6 of 8
A battery produces a PD. If a circuit contains a resistor and bulb, what would their total PD be compared to the battery? (half? the same? double?)
add to be the same as battery
7 of 8
how do you calaclate the energy transferred in a circuit when you know the PD and the charge
Energy transfer = PD x charge
