electricity
what is static electricity
the buildup of electric charges on the surface of an object, creating an imbalance that creates in attraction or repulsion.
what is a electric circut
a continuous, closed loop or path that allows electric current to travel, powered by a source like a battery.
what is electrical energy
the power derived from the movement of charged particles, such as electrons, through a conductor.
what is lightning
a massive electrostatic discharge in the atmosphere, occurring between clouds, within a cloud, or between clouds and the ground, caused by charge imbalances from colliding particles in storms
what is a series circut
an electrical circuit where components are connected in a single, continuous loop, creating only one path for the current to flow
what is electrical power
the rate at which electrical energy is transferred or converted into another form, such as heat or light
what is electrical current
the flow of electric charge through a conductor, like a wire, by a voltage difference and measured in amperes.
what is a parallel circuit
an electrical setup where components are connected on separate branches, giving the current multiple paths to flow.
what is electrical frequency
the number of cycles an alternating current completes per second, measured in Hertz.
what is ohms law
explains and describes the relationship in electrical circuits.
what is an open circuit
an incomplete electrical path where a break, gap, or switch prevents electric current from flowing.
what is electrical resistence
the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in Ohms.
what is electric charge
physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force within an electromagnetic field.
what is a closed circuit
a complete, unbroken electrical path where current flows continuously from a power source.
what is a shock
the physiological reaction from an electric current passing through the body.
