What two factors does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

Height and mass

Front

What is a material that allows heat and electricity to pass through it called?

Back

Conductor

Front

What is the term for the energy stored in an object due to its position?

Back

Potential energy

Front

What is the unit of electrical resistance?

Back

Ohm

Front

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, current flows in a single path; in a parallel circuit, current can flow through multiple paths.

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational potential energy?

Back

PE = mgh (where PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height)

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow heat and electricity to pass through it.
