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 lamp?
It is transferred to other
forms of energy
View source
What do we use to work out energy transfers in a circuit?
Potential difference
View source
What does a potential difference of 9 volts across the lamp indicate?
All
electrical energy
is transferred
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 transferred into other forms of energy when electrons collide with atoms?
Electrical energy
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 resistance of lamp A with a current of 1 ampere and a potential difference of 1 volt?
1
ohm
View source
What is the resistance of lamp B with a current of 1 ampere and a potential difference of 10 volts?
10
ohms
View source
How do you calculate the potential difference needed for a certain current?
Multiply current by
resistance
View source
If the current is 0.5 amp and the resistance is 50 ohms, what is the potential difference?
25
volts
View source
What is the relationship between potential difference, current, and resistance?
Potential difference (V) = Current (I) ×
Resistance (R)
Resistance (R) =
Potential difference (V)
/
Current (I)
View source
What are the key concepts related to resistance in circuits?
Resistance
indicates energy required to drive current
Measured in
ohms
Higher
resistance means more energy needed
View source
What are the steps to calculate resistance in a circuit?
Identify
potential difference
in
volts
Identify current in
amperes
Use the
formula
:
Resistance
= V / I
View source
How can you find the potential difference across a component?
Use the
formula
:
V
=
I
×
R
Multiply current by resistance
