What types of charge are there
Positive, neutral and negative
1 of 35
Would positive and positive charges repel
They repel. Opposable charges attract.
2 of 35
What is an atom made of
Neutral and positive
3 of 35
What surrounds an atom
Negative charge
4 of 35
The difference between conductor and insulator
Conductor allows electrons to move freely. Vice versa
5 of 35
What is current measured in
Amperes (A)
6 of 35
What is the symbol of current
I
7 of 35
Symbol for charge
Q
8 of 35
Relationship between current,charge and time
Q=IT
9 of 35
What is the current in a series circuit
Same at every point
10 of 35
What is the current in a parallel circuit
Splits up between branches
11 of 35
What is a current
The flow of electrons around a circuit
12 of 35
what does the fuse do in a plug
protects the flex
13 of 35
what does the term "watts" mean in electricity
the amount of electrical energy converted every second
14 of 35
what is the relationship between power,energy and time
Power= energy/ time
15 of 35
power......... a circuit
power through a circuit
16 of 35
voltage............ across a ciruit
voltage across a circuit
17 of 35
relationship between voltage,power,current
P=IV
18 of 35
voltage from mains
230V
19 of 35
if power rating greater than 700 watts, what fuse should be used
13A fuse
20 of 35
if power rating less than 700, what fuse should be used
3A fuse
21 of 35
what formula should be used to find the fuse
P=IV
22 of 35
what is the purpose of an earth wire
its a safety device
23 of 35
if an appliance is plastic does it need an earth wire
no, as this means its double insulated
24 of 35
what does AC stand for
alternating current
25 of 35
what does DC stand for
direct current
26 of 35
can energy be destroyed
no, only converted to different forms
27 of 35
what does a car convert energy from and to while acclerating
chemical to kinetict and heat
28 of 35
what energy is most commonly lost to the surrounding
heat energy
29 of 35
what is the gravitational pull of eath
9.8 N/ Kg
30 of 35
what does Ep=mgh mean
potential energy= mass*gravitational pull*height(M)
31 of 35
what does Ek stand for
kinetic engery
32 of 35
translate Ek=0.5*m*v squared
kinetic engery= 0.5* mass(Kg)* speed squared
33 of 35
if we ignore air resistance does Ep=Ek
yes they are
