This allows the free flow of electrons.
What is a conductor?
100
This opposes the free flow of electrons.
What is an insulator?
100
R = E/I
What is Ohm's Law?
100
An invisible force that acts on charged particles.
What is voltage?
100
Movement of electrons directed by an external force.
What is current?
200
This is also known as the Law of Charges.
What is Coulomb's Law?
200
Like charges _____, opposite charges _____.
What is repel and attract?
200
The unit of measure for current.
What is an ampere?
200
There must be movement for this to occur.
What is work?
200
These move to create electrical work.
What are electrons?
300
Movement of between atoms helps create electricity.
What is electrons?
300
These are the two types of electric current.
What is alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC)?
300
The unit of measure for electric potential.
What is volts?
300
These are the two purposes of electricity.
What is an energy source and a signal?
300
Voltage across this creates current.
What is a resistor?
400
The movement of electrons in a conductor.
What is current?
400
The study and use of systems that control the movement of electrons.
What is electronics?
400
The unit of measure for resistance.
What is an Ohm?
400
Current flows this direction.
What is from negative to positive?
400
The most common example of an electrical conductor.
What is a wire?
500
The quality of an electric circuit that opposes the flow of current through it.
What is resistance?
500
The force behind electrons that moves them along the conductor and results in current.
What is voltage?
500
Defined as Force times Distance.
What is work?
500
A material having relatively high resistance at room temperature whose electrical characteristics can be changed and controlled by various techniques (such as by adding other elements called “impurities”).
What is a semiconductor?
500
Any device or circuit powered by electricity.
