Science- Unit 2 Electricity chapter 11

a closed path along which electrons that are powered by an energy source can flow

a source of energy that generates an electric current by chemical reactions involving two different metals or metal compounds separated by a solution that is a conductor

a connection of two or more cells

one of two metal terminals in a cell or battery

a solution or paste that conducts charge

a cell that contains an electrolyte that is a paste

a cell that generates electricity through the chemical reactions of fuel that is stored outside the cell

a cell that converts sunlight into electrical energy

location on a cell that must be connected to other components to form a circuit

a control device that can complete or break the circuit to which it is connected

a circuit that contains a gap or break

the rate of movement of electric charge

the quantity of charge that is equal to the charge of 6.25 x 10¹⁸ electrons

the unit of electric current, equivalent to one coulomb per second

the property of a substance that hinders electric current and converts electrical energy to other forms of energy

a devic used in an electric circuit to decrease the current through a component by a specific amount

a diagram that uses standard symbols to represent the components in an electric circuit and their connections

a circuit in which there is only one path along which electrons can flow

a circuit in which there is more than one path along which electrons can flow

the ratio of potential difference to current is a constant called resistance

the unit for resistance equivalent to one volt per ampere (V/A)

a material through which electric charge can flow with no resistance

not following ohm's law

I_{T =}  I1 +I2+ I3

VT= V1= V2= V3

RT= R1 + R2 +R3

IT= I1=I2=I3

VT = V1+ V2 + V3

RT = R1+ R2+ R3
