Resumen del Recurso

Circuits
  1. Circuit Devices
    1. Current flows in one direction = Diode
      1. Light-Emitting Diode (LED)
        1. emits light when current flows in forward direction
          1. uses smaller current - indicate presence of current - used to show something's switched on e.g. TV
        2. LDR
          1. dependent on light intensity
            1. in bright light, resistance falls - high current e.g. automatic night lights
          2. Thermistor
            1. temperature dependent
              1. in hotness, resistance drops - high current e.g. temp. detectors
          3. Build up of Static is caused by Friction
            1. when certain insulating materials rub against each other, negatively electrons get scraped off
              1. leaves positive charge on one/negative on other
                1. which way electrons move - depends on two materials
                  1. electrically charged objects attract small objects around
              2. Only Electrons Move
              3. Current & Potential Difference
                1. Current = flow of charge (Amps)
                  1. only flows if there's voltage
                  2. Potential difference = driving force that pushes current (Volts)
                    1. Resistance = anything that slows down flow (ohms)
                      1. the greater the resistance, the small the current
                        1. Current = Charge ÷ Time I = Q ÷ T
                          1. Amps, coulombs, secs
                          2. P.D = work done per coulomb of charge between two points in circuit
                            1. amount of energy per unit of charge
                              1. P.D = Work done ÷ Charge V = W ÷ Q
                            2. Basics
                              1. Symbols
                                1. Fuse
                                  1. LED
                                    1. LDR
                                      1. Resistor
                                        1. Variable Resistor
                                          1. Ammeter
                                            1. Voltmeter
                                              1. Diode
                                                1. Thermistor
                                                2. Ammeter/Variable Resistor = Series
                                                  1. Voltmeter = Parallel
                                                  2. Series Circuits
                                                    1. P.D = Shared
                                                      1. add up to source voltage
                                                      2. Current = Same Everywhere
                                                        1. Resistance = adds up
                                                          1. bigger resistance of component = bigger share of P.D
                                                        2. Parallel Circuits
                                                          1. P.D = Same across All components
                                                            1. Current = Shared

                                                              1. Resistance increases with temperature
                                                                1. some electric energy = transferred to heat energy

                                                                    1. graph for bulb levels off

                                                                    1. resistance = directly proportional to P.D (at constant temp.)
                                                                      1. as temp. of lamp/bulb increases, resistance increases
                                                                      Mostrar resumen completo Ocultar resumen completo
