Electricity Vocabulary LHS

an instrument that can be used to determine the current at any given location on a circuit

states that the current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance

the potential difference or electromotive force; electric potential energy divided by charge

source of electrical potential or voltage

the rate at which electric charges pass through a given area

a type of electronic component that allows electricity to flow through in only one direction.

low resistance connection between the two conductors supplying electrical power to any circuit

total current entering a junction equals total current leaving a junction

the voltage drop; the work to move a charge between two points , divided by the charge.

rate at which energy is converted from electrical energy of moving charges to some other form

a set of electrical components connected to provide complete paths for the movement of charges

the unit for current

hindrance of the flow of electrons in electricity by a material or device

an instrument that can be used to determine electric potential across two points on a circuit
