Electric Current and Simple Circuits pt 2

Front

What is Resistance?

Back

The ability to reduce the flow of electrons.

Front

Resistance is...

Back

What 'slows down' electrons.

Front

What is Voltage?

Back

The amount of energy used to move one coulomb of electrons through a circuit.

Front

Current times Resistance equals (I X R)

Back

Voltage.

Front

If the Voltage is increased and the resistance stays the same, Current will...

Back

Increase.

Front

What is Electric Current?

Back

The flow of electric charge (electrons) through a conductor.

Front

What is a Simple Circuit?

Back

A closed loop that allows current to flow from a power source to a load.

Front

What is a Battery?

Back

A device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) expressed as V = I x R.

Front

What is a Conductor?

Back

A material that allows electric current to flow easily, such as copper.
