Fast and Curious: Unit 8 Lesson 4, Lesson 5, and Lesson 6 (A)

Front

What is Direct Current (DC)?

Back

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

Front

What is a Series Circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where components are connected in a single path, allowing current to flow through each component sequentially.

Front

What is Amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

The maximum distance that the particles of a wave’s medium vibrate from their rest positions.

Front

What is Wave Period?

Back

The time required for corresponding points on consecutive waves to pass a given point.

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 difference between Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC)?

Back

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

Front

What is a Parallel Circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing current to flow through multiple paths.

Front

What is Frequency in relation to waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wave period?

Back

Frequency is the reciprocal of wave period; as frequency increases, wave period decreases.

Front

What is a Longitudinal Wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction the wave is traveling.
