What is an ampere?
a measure of the amount of electric charge in motion per unit time ― that is, electric current
an electrical path that branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch is known as
Parallel circuit
a quantity of electricity that is related to the balance of electrons and protons in an object.
Charge
Repulsion is..
similar charged objects (2 positives or 2 negatives) repel or push each other apart.
Conductor
the materials or substances which allow electricity to flow through them.
This item responds to an external force to mechanically change an electric signal
Switch
This allows current to pass from one conductor to another
Contact
This occurs when there is a buildup of electrons on something, giving it an electric charge.
Static Electricity
Current
a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms.
What is a volt?
the unit of electric potential, electric potential difference (voltage), and electromotive force in the International System of Units (SI)
The definition of distance is ...

The characteristics or conditions that exist in different amounts or types and can be changed in an experiment is called?
Variable
What is the lightest stable subatomic particle known.
Electron
A quantitative expression of the potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field
Voltage
Electricity is...

The protons and electrons of an atom are pulled to each other is called?
Attraction
An electrically conducting pathway comprising an electric circuit along which the whole current flows through each component is called
Series
What is an insulator?
Materials that do not allow electricity to pass through them
Charged particles change the space around them. They produce an electric field that can exert a force on other charged particles within the field. What is this called?
Interaction
