Answer:
Semiconductor
Question 4: Symbol for resistance
Answer:
R
Question 5: what is the relationship between force and charge
Answer:
direct
Question 6: symbol for amperage
Answer:
I
Question 7: what is the accepted direction of current flow
Answer:
going toward negative point
Question 8: define amperage
Answer:
number of electrons flowing in the circuit; measures electrical current
Question 9: give 3 examples of a conductor
Answer:
copper, water, metal
Question 10: what is a similar name of potential difference
Answer:
voltage
Question 11: how many electric charges in 1 coulomb
Answer:
1C=6x10618 electron charges Question 12: A ____ ____ contains elements that are connected at their ends rather than lying in a line along a conductor.
Answer:
Parallel circuit
Question 13: What causes electric potential energy
Answer:
electric charges can do work when released
Question 14: do uncharged particles have electric fields?
Answer:
no
Question 15: symbol for electric potential
Answer:
V Question 16: According to Ben Franklin, positive charges move towards negative charges which stay put.
Answer:
Conventional current Question 17: The force of attraction between unlike charges or repulsion between like charges is due to the electric field. This force is called....
Answer:
electrostatic force
Question 18: Describe Ohm's law and state the formula
Answer:
The voltage across the total circuit or any portion of the circuit is equal to the current times the resistance. R=V/I and I=V/R
Question 19: Describe Law #2 of Electrostatics
Answer:
COULOMBS LAW: The electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the electrostatic charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. F=k(QaQb/d^2)
Question 20: what direction do electrons flow
Answer:
from negative charge to positive charge
Question 21: How is the force of attraction/repulsion affected by increasing the magnitude of charge (in Coulombs law)
Answer:
more force attracting or repelling
Question 22: List the 4 things that influence resistance
Answer:
- what material the conductor is made of
- area
- temperature (less resistance if cooler)
- length
Question 23: Compare the move-ability of electrons and protons
Answer:
Protons are fixed in the nucleus, electrons can move from shell to shell of different atoms
Question 24: State the rules for a series circuit
Answer:
- The total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
- The current through each circuit element is the same and is equal to the total circuit current.
- The total voltage is equal to the sum of the voltages across each circuit.
Question 25: A connection that causes electrons to flow from one place to another.
Answer:
Contact
Question 26: The study of electric charges in motion
Answer:
Electrodynamics
