True or false: in a series circuit the voltage is split

true

What is current measured in?

Amps

True or false : in a series circuit the current is split

false

What colour is the earth wire

green and yellow

What is a difference between series and parallel circuits?

Series:all in one loop, if a bulb breaks all will go out, current=same, voltage=split. Parallel:on seperate branches, current=split, voltage=same

Name 2 electrical dangers

Wires can heat up causing fires, can cause burns or even death if too much current is sent through the body

What 'I' are materials that cannot conduct electricity easily

Insulators

What does the fuse do

A safety device marked with the max.current it can carry

Draw a series circuit with 2 bulbs, a battery, an close switch and an ammeter

What does this symbol represent?

cell

true or false : current is the flow of electrons around a circuit

true

what colour is the neutral wire

blue

What does this symbol represent?

voltmeter

What would happen if i added more bulbs in a series circuit

they would get dimmer

What is resistance

how difficult it is for electricity to flow through something

What does this symbol represent?

ammeter

What does this symbol represent?

Resistor

What does this symbol represent?

battery

Why are metals good conductors?

They have free electrons, charges can move easily

What does this symbol represent?

Bulb

What is voltage measured in?

volts

Draw a parallel circuit with 2 bulbs, 3 ammeter, a resistor and a cell

Who discovered that electricity was small charged particles?

J.J Thomson

Give the value that each ammeter would read (series)

Give the value that each ammeter would read (parallel)

True or False : in a parallel circuit the current is split

true

What colour is the live wire

Brown
