Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

Ohm's Law
V= C*R; Equation that solves for voltage, current and resistance
Volts
V; units for voltage
Voltage
the power given to the current to flow, like from a battery; measured in volts, V
Ohms
Ω; units for resistance
Resistor
an object that slows the current flow, like the filament in a lightbulb; measured in ohms, Ω
Amperes (Amps)
A; units for current flow
Ammeter
a device used to measure current in a circuit
Current
the flow of electrons through a circuit; measured in amperes (amps), A
Short Circuit
a circuit where the electrons don't flow properly, can lead to fire
Closed Circuit
a complete circuit through which electricity flows
Open Circuit
a circuit where there is a gap or opening that prevents electric current from flowing freely or stops the flow
Circuit
