What does a P.D. of 1 volt tell us?

1 J transferred per 1 C of charge

How must voltmeters always be connected in a circuit?

In parallel

How is P.D. distributed in a series circuit?

Shared between components

What is the P.D. across components connected in parallel?

The same for each component

What is a battery?

Two or more cells connected together

If three 1.5 V cells form a battery, what is the total P.D.?

4.5 V

What does a current of 1 ampere mean?

1 C of charge flowing per second

Using Q=I×tQ = I \times t, find charge when I=2I = 2 A for t=5t = 5 s.

10 C

Using E=Q×VE = Q \times V, find energy when Q=4Q = 4 C and V=3V = 3 V.

12 J

Using R=VIR = \frac{V}{I}, find resistance when V=12V = 12 V and I=3I = 3 A.

4 Ω

In which direction do electrons flow in a circuit?

From negative to positive terminal

What is true about current in a series circuit?

Same all the way around

How does current behave in parallel circuits?

Splits; branch currents add to total
