Heat Transfer
This type of heat transfer occurs when energy moves through a fluid like air or water.
Convection
Energy that an object has due to its motion is called this.
Kinetic Energy
A circuit with only one path for current is called this.
Series Circuit
Energy stored in an object because of its position or shape is called this.
Potential Energy
The transfer of heat through direct contact of objects or substances.
Conduction
This is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object.
Static Electricity
A circuit with multiple paths for current is called this.
Parallel Circuit
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Law of Conservation of Energy
Heat can also travel through empty space by this process, without the need for a medium.
Radiation
This is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Electric Current.
A switch in a circuit is open; the current will do this.
Stop flowing.
The energy stored in chemical bonds, which is released during chemical reactions.
Chemical Energy
This material is used to slow down heat transfer because it is a poor conductor.
Insulator
Rubbing a balloon on your hair gives the balloon this type of charge.
Negative charge (gains electrons).
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is this.
Is the same
A flashlight converts chemical energy in the battery into this type of energy.
Light/ Radiant Energy
This is the process where heat passes through a material without heating it up much.
Transmission
If a balloon is rubbed on someone's scarf does the balloon become positively or negatively charged?
The balloon gains electrons and becomes negatively charged.
This instrument is used to measure electric current in a circuit.
Ammeter
A hydroelectric dam converts this type of energy into electrical energy.
Gravitational Potential Energy
