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