Kvíz
a source of power used for lighting, heating, and operating machines
elektřina
relating to, produced by, or using electricity
elektrický
the measure of the intensity of an electric current, expressed in amperes
intenzita, ampéráž
total potential energy provided by a power source
napětí, voltáž
the amount of electrical power produced or used, calculated by multiplying voltage by current
a circuit where current splits into multiple paths and then recombines to complete the loop
an electrical circuit in which components are connected end-to-end along a single path
a failure in a circuit caused when the electricity flows in the wrong route due to wire damage or fault in the connections of wires
zkrat, zkratování
a substance that permits electricity to pass through or along it
vodič, dirigent
a flow of electricity resulted from the movement of electrically charged particles in a direction
proud, elektrický proud
an electric current that reverses direction periodically, typically used in power distribution systems due to its efficiency in long-distance transmission
střídavý proud, AC
an electric current that flows in one direction steadily
stejnosměrný proud, SP
a long and thin piece of metal that carries an electric current
drát, kabel
a connection that links an electrical device to the ground, which is treated as having zero voltage
a connection between an electrical device and the earth, which is treated as having zero voltage
a wire that carries electrical current and has the potential to cause electric shock or injury if touched
živý drát, vodivý drát
a coil of wire wrapped around a metal core that acts as a magnet when electric current flows through it
to allow heat or electricity be transmitted
vést, přenášet
a thin wire, usually made of tungsten, that glows white-hot when electricity passes through it
a device that produces electrical current through a chemical reaction
baterie, článek
a group of wires bundled together for transmitting electricity that is protected within a rubber case
kabel, elektrický kabel
the amount of electrical power delivered or produced by a generator or power plant at a given time
zatížení, výkon
(electrical engineering) the angular position of a point in an alternating current cycle, measured from a reference point
a cable or conductor used to carry electrical signals, optical signals, or electric power
a network of high-voltage cables and equipment that delivers electricity across a large region
a facility that transforms voltage levels and regulates electrical currents, typically situated in an electrical power distribution system
rozvodna, transformační stanice
a protective device that automatically interrupts the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit when it detects an overload, short circuit, or other electrical fault, thereby preventing damage to the circuit and reducing the risk of electrical hazards
jistič, pojistka
(electrical engineering) a collection of devices like switches and circuit breakers that control and protect electrical equipment
a solid strip or bar of conductive material that distributes electricity to multiple connected circuits
(electrical engineering) using three alternating currents of the same voltage, each offset by one-third of a cycle
(electrical engineering) using a single alternating current for power distribution, commonly used in residential settings
