New cards

What happens to the resistance of an LDR with increasing illumination

It decreases with increasing illumination

2
New cards

How does the resistance of a thermistor change with temperature

Decreases as temperature increases

3
New cards

How are leds and lamps used in a circuit

Used to indicate presence of current

4
New cards

What is ohms law

Voltage = current x resistance

5
New cards

What is current

Rate of flow of charge

6
New cards

What is the formulae for charge

Charge = current x time

7
New cards

What is electric current

A flow of negatively charged electrons

8
New cards

Why is a current conserved at a junction in a circuit

Because charge can not be created or destroyed total current entering a junction = total current leaving a junction

9
New cards

What happens to voltage across components connected in parallel

Voltage is the same

10
New cards

What is voltage in terms of energy transfer

Energy transferred per unit charge passed

11
New cards

Energy transferred

Charge x voltage

12
New cards

Why would u choose a parallel or series circuit

Parallel is used for domestic lighting as components work independently

13
New cards

How does current behave in a series circuit

Depends on voltage

14
New cards

What is the effect of changing resistance

Increasing resistance decreases current and decreasing resistance increases current
