Electric circuits

Question 1

Ohm’s law

Answer 1

Potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the current in the conductor at constant temperature

Question 2

Ohmic conductor

Answer 2

Conductor that obeys ohms law. Resistance remains constant when voltage is varied over the resistance OR current is increased.

eg copper wire

Question 3

Non-ohmic conductor

Answer 3

Does not obey ohms law. resistance is not constant when voltage is varied across it.

eg. diodes and transistors

Question 4

Power

Answer 4

rate at which work is done

Question 5

what divides voltage?

Answer 5

Seires circuits

Question 6

what divides current?

Answer 6

Parallel circuits
