Electricity flows in the path of _____________.
What is least resistance?
Energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
The 3 types of heat transfer.
What is conduction, convection, and radiation?
When a force moves an object over a certain amount of distance, this is done.
What is work?
2 bars, separated by a space, have positive/negative ends.
What is the battery?
The flow of charges in an electrical circuit.
What is current?
When energy gets stored in a system.
What is potential energy?
Movement of heat by direct touch.
What is conduction?
The variable for d in W=Fd
What is distance?
A circle which can have an x or a squiggly line in it.
What is the light bulb?
When a circuit has a new pathway created without the addition of a power user, creating electrical problems and/or hazards.
What is a short circuit?
Energy stored/released in the nuclei of atoms.
What is nuclear energy?
Sitting by the bonfire is where this heat transfer will occur.
What is radiation?
The unit for energy.
What is a Joule?
Moving part of the circuit, alternating between open and close.
What is the switch?
A circuit with power users all in one pathway.
What is a series circuit?
The kinetic and potential energy of the particles that make up an object.
What is thermal energy?
The movement of heat through a fluid.
What is convection?
The amount of work being done over time.
What is power?
The part of the circuit that when installed, looks like a set of zigzag lines.
What is the resistor?
Multiple pathways, same amount of power going through.
What is a parallel circuit?
The sum of the potential and kinetic energy in a system.
What is mechanical energy?
Air being hotter at the attic of a house and cooler at the basement is an example of this heat transfer.
What is convection?
The unit for power.
What is the watt?
