Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 9.5 \times 40 \) = 380 V
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in:
coulombs |
|
amperes |
|
ohms |
|
volts |
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease what in a circuit?
voltage |
|
resistance |
|
load |
|
current |
A transformer utilizes an inductor to increase or decrease the voltage in a circuit. AC flowing in a coil wrapped around an iron core magnetizes the core causing it to produce a magnetic field. This magnetic field generates a voltage in a nearby coil of wire and, depending on the number of turns in the wire of the primary (source) and secondary coils and their proximity, voltage is induced in the secondary coil.
You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):
ammeter |
|
battery |
|
voltmeter |
|
reostat |
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.
Electricity cannot flow...
through a closed circuit |
|
through a circuit with resistance |
|
through an open circuit |
|
through a circuit under load |
An electrical circuit is a path through which electricity flows. This path contains one or more components that create a load (something that is using electricity) and that load acts as resistance to the passage of electricity through the circuit. Electricity can only flow through a circuit when the path is closed and cannot flow through an open circuit.
