What is power?
The rate at which a component converts electrical energy into other engy types
1 of 21
What is current?
The rate of flow of charged particles
2 of 21
What is potential difference?
The energy per unit charge
3 of 21
What is resistance?
How difficult it is for current to flow
4 of 21
Why does resistance occur?
resistance is caused by electrons colliding with aoms and losing energy to other forms
5 of 21
What is ohm's law?
If external factors are constant current is directly proportional to p.d in an ohmic conductor
6 of 21
Which equation isn't correct
R=resistivity/AL
7 of 21
What is the equation for total resistance in series?
Rtotal=R1+R2+R3...
8 of 21
what is the realtionship between conductance and resistance?
Inverse
9 of 21
What does conductance depend on?
A material's number density of mobile charge carriers -number of free charged particles per m^3
10 of 21
What direction does conventional current flow in?
Positive to negative terminal of a power supply
11 of 21
What equation is incorrect?
V=E.M.F+v
12 of 21
How do you calculate the total E.M.F in a series circuit?
E.M.F1+E.M.F2+E.M.F3....
13 of 21
What is emf?
The elctro-motive-force, the amount of electrical energy the battery produces for each coulomb of charge
14 of 21
current entering a junction is...
the same as the current exiting the junction
15 of 21
What is a potential divider?
A circuit with a voltage source and a couple of resistors in series
16 of 21
What isn't a potential divider equation?
V1/R2=V2/R1
17 of 21
What type of wave can be polarised
transverse
18 of 21
What is bit rate?
Bit rate=samples per second x number of bits in sample
19 of 21
What is signal duration?
no of bits in signal/ bit rate
20 of 21
What isn't an equation for resolution?
resolution=image height/object height
21 of 21
