Circuits
-
Circuit (I)
A measure of the flow of electrons around a circuit
- measures in amperes ( amps
Poentail difference
(V)
- force driving the flow of electrons
- provided by the cell /battery
- the voltage measured in volts
Resistance
*everything that resistance or opposes the flow of electrons
Current /
-
Ammeter
- measure current connected in series
Voltmeter
- measures potential difference and added in parallel
Variable resistors
- modify the amount of resistance
Thermistor
- dependent on the temp
lower temp increasing resistance whilst the hotter do the opposite
- car engines
Light dependent
- dependent on the light
- the resistance of a light dependent resistor decreases when the light intensity increases
- automatic night light
-
- however this wasn’t found at first so the current always flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal
Each component has its own loop
- this is beneficial cause if something happens to 1 loop the rest will still be working

Fixed resistors
- the provide certain ohms of resistors
