Current is the
flow
of electricity.
Potential difference is the
difference
between two points of
energy
on a
circuit
.
Resistance is the
opposition
to the flow of current.
A switch is used to
turn
a circuit
on
or off.
A resistor limits the
current
within a
circuit.
A variable resistor is a resistor that allows the
resistance
to be
changed.
Thermistor's resistance
decreases
as temperature
increases.
An LDR's resistance
decreases
as temperature
increases.
Diodes allow
current
to flow in one direction only.
Charge
is the rate that current
travels.
Resistance in series
is added together.
Current is the same throughout a series circuit.
Potential difference
is shared equally amongst the components in a
series
circuit.
Potential Difference
remains the same throughout a
parallel
circuit.
Current is shared equally amongst the
components
of a
parallel circuit.
Alternating current regularly
changes direction.
Direct current only flows in
one
direction.
The live wire is
brown
and provides
230V
to households.
The neutral wire is
blue
and returns current back to the
power source.
The
earth wire
is yellow and green and gives a
low resistance
path to the ground in the event of a fault.
Step Up Transformers increase the voltage and decrease the current in order to stop the loss of power through
heat
caused by
friction.
Step Down Transformers lower the voltage in order to
decrease potential difference
as higher voltage is
dangerous.
Resistors in
parallel
have a
smaller
resistance than the lowest value resistor.
