SNC 1W1 Electricity Unit Review

TEST FORMAT:
 true/false questions
 multiple choice questions
 short answer questions – charging by induction, conduction and friction, lightning rods,
circuit diagram, Energuide label, factors that affect resistance, series and parallel circuits
 calculations using GRASS – Ohm’s Law, cost of electricity (memorize formula), current
and voltage in series or parallel circuits
 *Formulas will be given to you on the test but you must memorize the cost of electricity
formula*
