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.
9
New cards
Parallel Circuit
________- an electrical circuit in which current flows in more than one path at the same time.
10
New cards
Power
________- How quickly or slowly a load uses energy.
11
New cards
Energy
________- The ability to do work.
12

13
New cards
Electric potential (V)
Measured in volts, speed of moving electrons
14
New cards
Amperes (A)
 The measure of a current in a circuit
15
New cards
It is the number of moving electrons
a high current has many electrons and a low current has few
