Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
Why do resistors get hotter when there is an electric current through them?
Responda
  • collisions between moving charges and stationary ions in the wire cause a heating effect
  • energy from the current is wasted as heat

Questão 2

Questão
Why does the potential difference across two or more components add up to the potential difference across the battery?
Responda
  • none of it is wasted
  • the work done in each unit of charge in the battery must equal the work done in the components

Questão 3

Questão
Why is the potential difference largest across the component with the most resistance?
Responda
  • more work is done by the charge moving through a large resistance than a smaller one
  • it takes more energy to move across a bigger resistance
