Ohms Law

Cards (16)

  • Current
    The flow of electrons, also known as electron flow
  • Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive
  • Conventional current
    The standard that most of the world follows, where current flows from the positive terminal to the negative
  • Electrons are the charges that are freely moving in any direction in any material
  • Electric current
    The movement of electrons in one direction in conductors
  • Current
    A measure of how much electric charge flows through a circuit
  • Ampere
    Unit of current, equivalent to a coulomb per second (1A = 1 C/s)
  • Andre Marie Ampere
    French Physicist who founded electrodynamics
  • Voltage
    Pressure from an electrical circuit
  • Alessandro Volta
    Italian Physicist whose invention of the electric battery probided the first source of continuous current
  • Resistance
    measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit
  • Georg Simon Ohm
    German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
  • Conductor
    electrons can move easily
  • Inductors
    Restrict the flow of electrons
  • Electrician
    one that builds circuit
  • Ohms law states that the potential difference across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it
