The push provided by a battery or a cell is called.....
The Potential Difference
The amount of charge per second is called a....
Current
Name this device that measures current.
Ammeter
Parallel or series circuit? The current is the same everywhere.
Series
If the first ammeter in this series read 3 amps? What would the other 2 read? If I added another component would they change?
3, yes-they would all lower.
Parallel or series circuit? The current in each branch is the same but add together to make the total current of the circuit.
Parallel
The problem with circuit series.
If one of the components breaks, the whole circuit is broken and the current stops.
Name & describe this
Parallel circuits. They have components connected in parallel, on their own branches.
Name & describe this.
Series circuit. Components connected one after another in series.
Name this instrument that is used to measure the amount of energy released by electrons (volts)
Voltmeter
In relation to the readings on the ammeters-True or False?
A2 + A3 = A1
A1 = A4
True
A battery produces a charge-True or False
False-The charge already exists and the battery just pushes it.
