Studied by 2 peopleVoltmeter
________- used to measure potential difference across any 2 points in a circuit or the energy used by a load.
Ammeter
________- used to measure current, must be connected in series and e- must flow directly through it to get a measurement.
Electric potential
________ (V)- Measured in volts, speed of moving electrons.
Amperes
________ (A)- The measure of a current in a circuit.
Resistance
________- The degree a load slows electric current.
DC
________- Direct current- current flowing in 1 direction, i.e batteries- AC (alternating current) flows back and forth in cycles, i.e homes.
Series Circuit
________- A circuit that has one path.
Potential Difference
________- The energy stored in an object-"the higher the hill the more potential energy it has.
Parallel Circuit
________- an electrical circuit in which current flows in more than one path at the same time.
Power
________- How quickly or slowly a load uses energy.
Energy
________- The ability to do work.
Series Circuit
A circuit that has one path
Electric potential (V)
Measured in volts, speed of moving electrons
Amperes (A)
The measure of a current in a circuit
It is the number of moving electrons
a high current has many electrons and a low current has few
Resistance
The degree a load slows electric current
Energy
The ability to do work
Power
How quickly or slowly a load uses energy
energy
The ________ transferred to an electrical load by moving charges.
