Component 6 Outcome 1-6

What is the definition of 'Current'?

• flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A)

• a type of voltage, measured in volts (V)

• a form of resistance, measured in ohms (Ω)

• a unit of power, measured in watts (W)

What is the definition of 'Resistance'?

• a property of a component, making it difficult for charge to pass through it; it is measured in ohms (Ω)

• a measure of the amount of matter in an object

• the force exerted by a magnetic field

• the energy required to move a charge through a circuit

What is the definition of 'Voltage'?

• a measure of the size of the ‘push’ that is given to the electrons that form the current; the bigger the voltage, the bigger the current for any given resistance

• a measure of the resistance in a circuit

• a measure of the current flowing through a circuit

• a measure of the power consumed by a circuit

What is the definition of 'Battery'?

• a number of cells joined together

• a single cell

• a type of fuel

• a type of engine

What is the definition of 'Cell'?

• pushes the electric current from the positive terminal round to the negative one

• stores energy for later use

• converts chemical energy into electrical energy

• is a basic structural unit of living organisms

What is the definition of 'Earth wire'?

• a wire connecting the metal case of an appliance to the ground

• a wire used to transmit electricity between poles

• a wire that provides internet connectivity

• a wire used in telecommunication systems

What is the definition of 'Flex'?

• a flexible electric wire

• a type of exercise

• a brand of clothing

• a type of dance move

What is the definition of 'Fuse'?

• a thin piece of wire designed to melt if the current becomes too large

• a device used to amplify sound

• a tool for cutting wires

• a type of battery used in electronics

What is the definition of 'Live wire'?

• a wire that carries the current from the electricity generator to the appliance

• a wire that is used to ground the electrical system

• a wire that is used to connect two appliances

• a wire that is used to measure electrical resistance

What is the definition of 'Neutral wire'?

• a wire that returns the current from the appliance to the electricity generator

• a wire that supplies current to the appliance

• a wire that is used for grounding

• a wire that is used for high voltage transmission
