What is a series circuit?
A circuit that has only 1 loop
What is a parallel circuit?
A circuit that has more than one loop
Define current (3 keywords to remember)
the rate of flow of charge
In metallic conductors, what is electric current the flow of?
negatively charged electrons
What component is used to measure current?
Ammeter
What component is used to measure voltage?
Voltmeter
Define voltage (you can look up the formula to help you)
the energy transferred per charge
What energy transfer happen in a light bulb?
Electrical –> Light and thermal
What energy transfer happens in a resistor?
Electrical –> Thermal
What is 1 volt equivelent to? (you can look up the formula to help you)
1 joule per coulomb
In a series circuit, what is the rule for the current?
Current is the same everywhere in a series circuit
In a parallel circuit, what is the rule for the current?
Current through each loop adds up to current through the battery
In a series circuit, what is the rule for voltage?
The voltage of the components add up to the voltage of the battery
In a parallel circuit, what is the rule for voltage?
The voltage is the same on every loop of the circuit and on the battery
