OHM’S LAW: If any two electrical characteristics are known, you can determine the third with Ohm’s Law. |
The law that defines the relationship between current, voltage and resistance is called _____ Law. |
|
DIRECTLY |
According to Ohm’s Law, the current in any circuit is _____ proportional to the applied voltage. |
|
A meter used to measure electric current. It is connected as part of a circuit. |
Ammeter |
|
The unit of measurement of electric current. One ampere is one coulomb per second. |
Ampere |
|
A complete path allowing current to flow. |
Closed circuit |
|
A material that gives up free electrons and offers only slight opposition to current flow. |
Conductor |
|
The movement of free electrons in a material. |
Current |
|
The force that causes electrons to move through a conductor. |
Electromotive Force (emf) |
|
Electrons in the outer orbits of an atom that can easily be forced out of their orbits. |
Free Electrons |
|
A material that does not give up free electrons easily and offers opposition to current flow. |
Insulator |
|
The basic unit of resistance measure. |
Ohm |
|
A meter for directly measuring the resistive component of an electrical circuit. |
Ohmmeter |
|
A circuit with a break or open path that stops current flow. |
Open circuit |
|
The term most frequently used to express the difference of potential between two charges or between two points of a circuit. |
Voltage |
|
A meter that is connected across the line to measure the potential difference (voltage) between two points. |
Voltmeter |
|
The property of a circuit which limits, opposes or resists the flow of electricity through it. |
Resistance |
|
The resistance of a conductor is measured in a unit called… |
OHM |
