1
Voltmeter
________- used to measure potential difference across any 2 points in a circuit or the energy used by a load.
New cards
2
Ammeter
________- used to measure current, must be connected in series and e- must flow directly through it to get a measurement.
New cards
3
Electric potential
________ (V)- Measured in volts, speed of moving electrons.
New cards
4
Amperes
________ (A)- The measure of a current in a circuit.
New cards
5
Resistance
________- The degree a load slows electric current.
New cards
6
DC
________- Direct current- current flowing in 1 direction, i.e batteries- AC (alternating current) flows back and forth in cycles, i.e homes.
New cards
7
Series Circuit
________- A circuit that has one path.
New cards
8
Potential Difference
________- The energy stored in an object-"the higher the hill the more potential energy it has.
New cards
9
Parallel Circuit
________- an electrical circuit in which current flows in more than one path at the same time.
New cards
10
