Electrical Circuits and Resistance Concepts

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity occurs due to a buildup of charges on an object.

Front

What is electricity?

Back

Electricity is the movement of electrons through a conductor.

What happens to bulbs in a series circuit if one bulb burns out?

Back

If one bulb burns out, the other bulb will not light up.

Front

Why do like charges repel each other?

Back

Like charges in the balloon are repelling each other.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) in a circuit is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the resistance (R).

Front

What is the formula to calculate current?

Back

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

Front

What is resistance in an electrical circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current.

Front

What unit is resistance measured in?

Back

Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω).

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows the flow of electric current.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that resists the flow of electric current.
