What does charge actually mean?
Charge is the number of electrons that pass a point in a circuit per second. Hence Q=It
Which term describes a model in which a charge takes up no space and acts uniformly on its surroundings?
point charge (apex)
What best describes a necessary condition of a series circuit?
the complete and total absence of any point in the circuit where the current has any choice of which way to go ... no 'forks in the road'
What does potential diffrence mean?
Potential Difference is the difference in electric potential energy per coulomb of charge at one point of a circuit compared to the charge at another point in a circuit. Potential difference, or voltage, is a way of describing the energy of an electric field without using test charges. In circuits, potential difference is the difference in voltage from one part of a circuit to another. It can also be described by ohms law where the Voltage=Current*Resistance In electrostatics, potential difference is the line integral of the electric field from one point to another with respect to distance.
What describes a reference point?
A point u can refur to
what term describes the amount of charge that passes a point in a circuit each second Current Resistance Voltage power?
Current
What does a coulomb measure?
A coulomb is a unit of electrical charge. It is the charge that passes a point in an electrical circuit in one second when a current of 1 ampere is flowing through the point.
What is the rate at which charge passes a given point?
current
What does charge actually mean?
Charge is the number of electrons that pass a point in a circuit per second. Hence Q=It
What is a short circuit in aNn electric circuit?
short circuit simply means, when a positive and the negative electric charge collided or met in a certain point.
Which term describes a model in which a charge takes up no space and acts uniformly on its surroundings?
point charge (apex)
When 5 coulombs of charge per second pass a point in an electric circuit the electric current in that part of the circuit is?
2 amperes
Which term describes a model in which a charge takes up no space and acts uniformly on it's surroundings?
point charge (apex)
What goes around a circuit?
Charge, in the form of electrons, flow through a circuit. This is called electric current. 1 amp = 1 coulomb of charge per second flowing past a point in the circuit.
What best describes a necessary condition of a series circuit?
the complete and total absence of any point in the circuit where the current has any choice of which way to go ... no 'forks in the road'
Will a charge exit a circuit with less energy than they had when they entered the circuit?
It makes sense for charge carriers to lose energy in a circuit, but I don't think it quite works that way. For example, a voltage doesn't accelerate an electron or other charge carrier at a single point - rather, the force experienced by the charge carriers would be spread out over a larger area.
A wire carries a current of 6.0 amperes How much charge passes a point in the wire in 120 seconds?
720 C
