4. The presence of positive and negative polarities serves as a method of
___balancing________.
5. An __insulator__ is a material that does not conduct electrical current.
6. The structure of an atom is represented by circles which the electron orbits. What is
the name of the model that invents the series of circles to represent the electrons in
an atom? ___Bohr’s________ model
7. In an atom, electrons (negatively charged) revolve around the positively charged
nucleus in a definite circular path called __orbits__ or shells.
8. The inner shell or circle of an atom can accommodate ____2_______ electrons.
9. The second circle of an atom can have a maximum of ____8_______ electrons
10. The valence indicates how easily the atom can gain or __lose_________ electrons.
11. A coulomb is the base unit of electric __charge_________
12. The symbol for coulomb is ___C__.
13. The name Coulomb was take from its discoverer _ Charles A. Coulomb___
14. The symbol for electric charge is _Q___
15. One electron has a charge of _1.6 x 10-19 C__
16. In magnetism, opposite charges __attracted to each other_________
17. Unlike charges _Potential Difference__________
18. The unit for potential difference is called ___Volt________
19. The person who discovered the potential difference between two unlike charges was
__Alessandro Volta____
20. In electronics, potential difference is commonly referred to as __voltage_________
21. The 0.7376 foot-pound (ft · lb) of work is required to move 6.25 x 1018 electrons
between two points, the potential difference between those two points is
__one volt_____
22. The metric unit of work or energy is the __joule_________
23. The electromotive force (emf) used the symbol ___E________
24. Voltage as an electrical pressure or __force_________
25. This ___current________ is a drift of electrons, from the point of negative charge at one
end, moving through the wire, and returning to the positive charge at the other end.
26. _Resistance___ Is Opposition to Current
27. The unit of resistance is the ___ohm________
28. A resistance that develops 0.24 calorie of heat when one ampere of current flows
through it for one second has ____one_______ ohm of opposition.
29. The symbol for resistance is ____R_______
30. The abbreviation used for the ohm unit is the Greek letter __omega________ written as
Ω
31. In diagrams, resistance is indicated by a ___zigzag________ line.
32. The person who discovered the presence of a resistance is _Georg Simon Ohm__________
33. The opposite of resistance is ___conductance________
34. Its symbol is G, and the unit is the _siemens__________
35. The old unit name for conductance is __mho________
36. A ____circuit_______ can be defined as a path for current flow
37. It is the ___current________ that moves through the circuit. The potential difference (PD)
does not move.
38. As electrons are lost from the negative charge and gained by the positive charge,
the two charges tend to __neutralize_________ each other.
39. The current that flows through the load resistance is the __load __ current
40. The __short_________ circuit is a bypass around the load resistance
41. Describe the electron flow Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive.
42. Describe the electron flow Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive.
43. Differentiate the DC to AC In direct current (DC), the electric charge (current) only flows in one
direction. Electric charge in alternating current (AC), on the other hand, changes direction periodically.
44. What are the sources of DC voltage _Static electricity by friction, Conversion of chemical energy,
Photoelectricity______
