Circuits
Define Electricity
The presence and/or flow of electric charges
Define Wave
A disturbance that carries energy from one location to another
Define Kinetic Energy
The energy of motion
Define Energy
The ability to do work
What is Newton's First Law?
An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force
Define Electric Current
The flow of charged particles
Do waves transport matter?
No, they transport energy
What are the four states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma
What is the SI unit of energy?
Joules (J)
Define Velocity
Speed and direction
What are the three basic parts of a circuit?
Energy source, wire, load
Define Medium
A substance or material that carries the wave
Liquid to gas
Vaporization
Define Potential Energy
Stored energy due to an object’s position, or energy ready to go
What is Newton's Second Law?
Force equals mass times acceleration (F=MxA)
The potential difference between two points in a circuit
How much energy the wave carries
Solid to gas
Sublimation
What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?
The total amount of energy in a system remains constant or conserved
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Define Resistance
How difficult it is for electrons to flow through a material
Define Wavelength
Length of a full wave cycle
State of matter with no volume or shape
Plasma
No
What is The Law of Conservation of Momentum?
