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.
