What is power?
The rate at which a component converts electrical energy into other engy types
1 of 15
What is current?
The rate of flow of charged particles
2 of 15
What is potential difference?
The energy per unit charge
3 of 15
What is resistance?
How difficult it is for current to flow
4 of 15
Why does resistance occur?
resistance is caused by electrons colliding with aoms and losing energy to other forms
5 of 15
What is ohm's law?
If external factors are constant current is directly proportional to p.d in an ohmic conductor
6 of 15
Which equation isn't correct
R=resistivity/AL
7 of 15
What is the equation for total resistance in series?
Rtotal=R1+R2+R3...
8 of 15
what is the realtionship between conductance and resistance?
Inverse
9 of 15
What does conductance depend on?
A material's number density of mobile charge carriers -number of free charged particles per m^3
10 of 15
What direction does conventional current flow in?
Positive to negative terminal of a power supply
11 of 15
What equation is incorrect?
V=E.M.F+v
12 of 15
How do you calculate the total E.M.F in a series circuit?
E.M.F1+E.M.F2+E.M.F3....
13 of 15
What is emf?
The elctro-motive-force, the amount of electrical energy the battery produces for each coulomb of charge
