electricity
what is static electricity?
stationary electric charge that is caused by two objects rubbing electrons off each other.
what is lighting?
huge static electric discharge
what is a circuit
a path for electrons to flow through a wire, it must be closed in order for the electricity to work
what is Coloumb's Law
Refers to attractive force between any two charged particles
what is current electricity
electrons flowing through a wire to complete a circuit
what is Resistance
A material's opposition to the flow of electric current.
what is a series circuit
An electric circuit with only one path through which charge can flow
what is Ohm's Law
the current in a circuit equals the voltage difference divided by the resistance
what is Electric Current?
the flow of electrons through a conductor
what is voltage.
The potential difference measured in volts. The amount of work to be done to move a charge from one point to another along an electric circuit.
what is parallel circuit
A closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then returns via a common path to complete the circuit.
