7. EE 2303 Voltage and Current measurements
8. Vocabulary Electric Circuit
Voltage
Current
Parallel
Series
9. Voltage Potential Difference between two points
Always has polarity (+/-)
Measure voltage in parallel
10. Current: Amperes (A) The flow of electrical charge through a conductor or circuit element
Current flow requires a continuous path
Measure current in SERIES
11. Electric circuits Current flow requires a continuous path
Voltage can appear across an open circuit
12. Series Circuits Current in Series circuits is the same
13. Parallel Circuits Voltage in parallel circuits is the same
Va = Vb = Vc
