View source
What does electricity involve in an electric circuit?
A
transfer of energy
View source
What type of energy does a cell contain?
Chemical energy
View source
What is carried by the current in a circuit?
Electrical energy
View source
What is the flow of electrons around the circuit called?
Current
View source
What happens to electrical energy when electrons pass through a component like a lamp?
It is transferred to other
forms of energy
View source
What do we use to work out the energy transfers involved in a circuit?
Potential difference
View source
What is the potential difference of the cell mentioned?
9 volts
View source
How much electrical energy does the current carry per coulomb of charge?
9
joules
View source
What does a potential difference of 9 volts across the lamp indicate?
All
electrical energy is
transferred
by the lamp
View source
What causes energy transfer in components?
Resistance
View source
What does resistance tell us?
The
potential difference
required to drive a
current
View source
What happens to electrons as they move through a conductor?
They collide with
atoms
View source
What is the result of electrons colliding with atoms in a metal?
Electrical energy
is transferred into other forms
View source
What is the unit for resistance?
Ohm
View source
What is the equation for calculating resistance?
Resistance
=
Potential difference
/
Current
View source
What is the symbol for ohm?
Ω
View source
How do you calculate the resistance of lamp A with a current of 1 ampere and a potential difference of 1 volt?
Resistance = 1
ohm
View source
What is the resistance of lamp B with a current of 1 ampere and a potential difference of 10 volts?
Resistance =
10
ohms
View source
How do you rearrange the resistance equation to find potential difference?
Potential difference =
Current
× Resistance
View source
If the current is 0.5 amp and the resistance is 50 ohms, what is the potential difference across the lamp?
25
volts
View source
What is the process to calculate resistance in a circuit?
Use the equation:
Resistance
=
Potential difference
/
Current
Units:
Ohms
(Ω)
View source
What are the steps to calculate potential difference in a circuit?
Identify current in
amperes
Identify resistance in
ohms
Use the
equation
: Potential difference = Current ×
Resistance
View source
What are the key concepts related to resistance in circuits?
Resistance
indicates energy required to drive current
Higher resistance means more energy needed
Resistance is calculated using
Ohm's law
