Electricity
Electricity that flows through wires.
What is current electricity?
The path that electricity follows.
What is a circuit?
A circuit that is incomplete and charges can't flow through.
A basic property of matter that can be positive or negative and that changes when matter gains or loses electrons.
What is an electric charge?
Objects with like charges that push apart.
What is repel?
A flow of electrons through a conductor.
What is a current?
This supplies energy to move electricity through a circuit.
What is a battery?
A circuit that is complete and there is no break in the path that the charges must follow.
What is a closed circuit?
These are tiny particles that make up all matter.
What are atoms?
Objects with unlike, or opposite charges pull together.
What is attract?
Materials that electrical current can easily pass through.
What is a conductor?
An object that uses some of the electricity in a circuit.
What is a resistor?
Circuit in which electricity can follow only one path.
What is a series circuit?
The buildup of electric charges on an object.
What is static electricity?
Materials that electrical current cannot pass through.
What is an insulator?
This is used to turn resistors on and off.
What is a switch?
Circuit in which electricity has more than one path to follow.
What is a parallel circuit?
The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another.
What is static discharge?
The 2 types of charges.
What are positive and negative?
