The cards Question What happens between two unlike electric charges? Tap to flip Answer They attract each other. Question What happens between two like electric charges? Tap to flip Answer They repel each other. Question What is the unit of electric charge? Tap to flip Answer The coulomb. Question What is the unit of electric current? Tap to flip Answer The ampere. Question What is an electric field? Tap to flip Answer The invisible field around a charged object that makes another charged object experience a force. Question In an electric circuit, towards which battery terminal are electrons forced? Tap to flip Answer The positive terminal. Question What is electric current? Tap to flip Answer The amount of charge that passes a point in a circuit each second. Question Which equation links current, charge and time? Tap to flip Answer Current = charge ÷ time. Question What is a Van de Graaff generator? Tap to flip Answer A device that produces electric charge, used in electrostatic experiments. Question What is a series circuit? Tap to flip Answer A circuit with only one loop. Question How does the current vary around a series circuit? Tap to flip Answer It is the same everywhere. Question In a series circuit, what do the p.d.s across the components add up to? Tap to flip Answer The p.d. of the battery. Question In a series circuit, what happens to the current when the resistance is greater? Tap to flip Answer The current is lower: current is inversely proportional to resistance. Question In a series circuit, what happens to the current when the battery p.d. is greater? Tap to flip Answer The current is larger: current is directly proportional to p.d. Question What is resistance? Tap to flip Answer A measure of how difficult it is for current to flow in a circuit. Question What is the unit of resistance? Tap to flip Answer The ohm (Ω). Question What is potential difference (p.d.)? Tap to flip Answer The voltage: a measure of the 'push' on electrons in a circuit. Question Which equation links current, p.d. and resistance? Tap to flip Answer Current = p.d. ÷ resistance. Question How is the resistance of a wire related to its length, at a constant temperature? Tap to flip Answer It is directly proportional to the length. Question Does the temperature of a metal wire affect its resistance? Tap to flip Answer Yes. Question What happens to a wire when a current flows through it? Tap to flip Answer It heats up. Question What does it mean for two variables to be directly proportional? Tap to flip Answer Both increase in the same proportion as each other. Question What is an independent variable? Tap to flip Answer The variable that the person doing the experiment changes. Question What is a dependent variable? Tap to flip Answer The variable that is measured, which changes as a result of varying the independent variable. Question What is a control variable? Tap to flip Answer A variable kept the same so that a fair test can be carried out. Question What is a random error? Tap to flip Answer An error that affects results in an unpredictable way. Question What is a parallel circuit? Tap to flip Answer A circuit with separate branches connected to the battery. Question How does the p.d. across each branch of a parallel circuit compare with the p.d. across the battery? Tap to flip Answer It is the same. Question In a parallel circuit, what do the currents through the branches add up to? Tap to flip Answer The current through the battery. Question What happens to a parallel circuit's resistance when a component is added in a new branch? Tap to flip Answer It decreases. Question What happens to a parallel circuit's resistance when a component is added to an existing branch? Tap to flip Answer It increases. Question Does the p.d. across a battery's terminals change when components are added to a circuit? Tap to flip Answer No. Question In a parallel circuit, what is a branch? Tap to flip Answer A separate series loop.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong. Flash Feed is not affiliated with any source named here.
