Boardworks Ltd 2015 Boardworks A-Level Physics Year 1 and AS Using Electricity Teacher notes current (I) – A flow of charge, measured in amperes (A). electromotive force (e.m.f) – The amount of electrical energy that is transferred to each unit of charge when one form of energy is converted to electrical energy. E.m.f is measured in volts (V). input transducer – A device that converts a specific type of energy into electrical energy, allowing the original energy source to act as an input for a circuit. kilowatt hour – A unit of energy used to measure the large quantities of electrical energy used domestically. Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) – A semiconducting input transducer with a cadmium sulfide track that causes resistance to decrease as light intensity increases. lux – The standard units of illuminance. ohmic conductor – A conductor with a linear current-voltage (I–V) graph. potential divider – A pair of series resistors that divide the input voltage in proportion to their resistance. This produces an output voltage lower than the input voltage. power – The rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit. The SI unit of power is the watt (W). resistance – The amount by which a material limits the flow of electrons through it. Resistance is affected by the length and cross-sectional area of a material as well as its resistivity. The SI unit of resistance is the ohm (Ω). sensor – A device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal that can be analyzed by a processor. thermistor – A semiconducting input transducer formed from a metal oxide. Its
