Circuits & Ohm's Law

Front

What is a Parallel circuit?

Back

A Parallel circuit has more than one path for current to flow.

Front

As the resistance of a circuit increases, what happens to the current?

Back

The current will decrease.

Front

What is the unit for resistance?

Back

Ohms (Ω) is the unit for resistance.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, preventing current from flowing.

Front

What is resistance measured in?

Back

Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω).

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R).

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete circuit that allows current to flow.

Front

What happens in a series circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, there is only one path for current to flow.

Front

What is the unit for electric current?

Back

The unit for electric current is Amperes (A).

Front

What is voltage?

Back

Voltage is the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit.
