Questions and CORRECT Answers
Voltage - CORRECT ANSWER - Potential difference or driving force of electrons
between two lines
Current - CORRECT ANSWER - Measured in amps. Movement of electrons through a
circuit when a difference of potential exists.
Direct current (DC) - CORRECT ANSWER - Circuit electrons flow in only one direction
from negative to positive.
Frequency - CORRECT ANSWER - (Hertz) number of times the alternating current
changes from 0 to its peak positive then zero to peak negative then back to zero.
Power - CORRECT ANSWER - Amount of energy used. Determined by voltage, current,
and resistance in a circuit.
Resistance - CORRECT ANSWER - Impedance or opposition to the flow of current.
Measured in Ohms. Every circuit must have resistance.
Circuit - CORRECT ANSWER - a path for an electrical current to flow around
Series circuit - CORRECT ANSWER - An electric circuit with a single path. (Castle wall)
Parallel circuit - CORRECT ANSWER - A circuit that contains more than one path for
current flow. (Parachute)
Series-Parallel Circuit - CORRECT ANSWER - Combination of series and parallel
circuits.
