Fast and Curious: Unit 8 Lesson 4, Lesson 5, and Lesson 6

Front

What is Voltage?

Back

The amount of work to move a unit of electric charge between two points; expressed in volts.

Front

What is an Electric Circuit?

Back

An electric circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows.

Front

What is a Parallel Circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit where components are connected across the same voltage source, allowing multiple paths for current.

Front

What is Direct Current (DC)?

Back

Direct Current (DC) is an electric current that flows in one direction.

Front

What is a Transverse Wave?

Back

A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling.

Front

What is the unit of Voltage?

Back

Volts (V) are the units used to measure voltage.

Front

What is the difference between AC and DC?

Back

AC (Alternating Current) changes direction periodically, while DC (Direct Current) flows in one direction.

Front

What is the role of a resistor in an electric circuit?

Back

A resistor limits the flow of electric current in a circuit.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Voltage?

Back

Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R).

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component in turn.
