Electricity Flashcards

Front

Resistance

Back

The opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms Ω

Front

Amps (Amperes)

Back

The unit of electric current, symbolized as A.

Front

Volts

Back

The unit of electric potential difference or force, symbolized as V

Front

Current

Back

The flow of electrons in a circuit, measured in amperes (A).

Front

Voltage

Back

The electrical potential difference between two points, measured in volts (V).

Front

Ohm's Law

Back

Voltage = Current x Resistance

Front

Static Electricity

Back

When two insulators rub together, causing the electrical charges on the surface of one object to jump to another.

Front

Electrical Circuit

Back

A path in which electrons from a voltage source flow, including a power source, conductors, and a load like a resistor or light bulb.

Front

Conductor

Back

A material that allows the flow of electric charge with low resistance, typically metals like copper or aluminum.

Front

Insulator

Back

A material that resists the flow of electric charge, providing high resistance and preventing the flow of electrons.
