Electric Circuits and Electromotive Forces

These flashcards cover key concepts related to electric circuits, including electromotive forces, internal resistance, and the effects of temperature on resistance and atomic behavior.

Electromotive Force (EMF)

The energy transferred per coulomb of charge in an electric circuit.

Internal Resistance

The resistance within a battery that causes energy loss when current flows.

Thermistors

Resistors whose resistance varies significantly with temperature.

Crystal Structure

The arrangement of atoms in solids which affects their electrical properties.

Lattice Vibrations

The oscillations of atoms within a solid that increase with temperature.
