Ampere - ✔✔Unit for electric current; one ampere is one coulomb per second (1 A = 1 C/s)
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Circuit Diagram - ✔✔Schematic drawing of an electrical circuit including all circuit
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
elements, such as resistors, capacitors, batteries, and so on
|| || || || || || || ||
Conventional Current - ✔✔Flows in the direction that a positive charge would flow if it could
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
move
Direct Current - ✔✔Electric current that flows in a single direction
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Electric Circuit - ✔✔Physical network of paths through which electric current can flow
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Electric Current - ✔✔Electric charge that is moving
|| || || || || || ||
Electric Power - ✔✔Rate at which electric energy is transferred in a circuit
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Equivalent Resistor - ✔✔Resistance of a single resistor that is the same as the combined
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
resistance of a group of resistors || || || || ||
In Parallel - ✔✔When a group of resistors are connected side by side, with the top ends of the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
resistors connected together by a wire and the bottom ends connected together by a different
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
wire
In Series - ✔✔When elements in a circuit are connected one after the other in the same
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
branch of the circuit
