    Study Notes

    Electrical Energy

    • Energy conversion: Charges move into a higher energy state. Electrons lose energy as they are converted into another type of energy.
    • Resistance: Loads oppose current flow; collisions between electrons and atoms slow current.
    • Factors affecting resistance: Material type, cross-sectional area, length, and temperature. Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω).
    • Electrical circuit: A complete path for electricity flow.
    • Short circuit: A circuit with very low resistance, high current, and potential fire hazard.
    • Battery: A connection of multiple cells.
    • Source: Provides electrical energy (e.g., battery).
    • Cell: Contains electrolyte in a liquid or moist paste; generates electrical energy from chemical reactions.
    • Electrolyte: Liquid or moist paste in a cell.
    • Electrochemical cell: A device that produces electrical energy from chemical reactions.
