100
This is the region around a charged object
What is an Electric Field?
100
Materials that allow electricity to flow easily
What is Conductor?
100
This turns on and off the current in a circuit
What is a Switch?
100
Term for any circuit being connected to Earth
What is Grounded?
100
A circuit with many paths
What is a Parallel Circuit?
200
These are the charged particles that can move from one object to another
What are Electrons?
200
The unbroken path that current takes
What is an Electric Circuit?
200
This type of circuit has only one path

300
This is the rubbing together of objects to transfer electrons
What is Friction?
300
The potential energy between two points in a circuit

400
Resistance can be affected by temperature, material, and these two things
What are Diameter and Length?
400
A light bulb is an example of this in a circuit
What is a Resistor?
400
These are switches that will break if a circuit heats up
What is Circuit Breaker?
400
The force between two charged objects
What is Electric Force?
500

500
Ohm's Law states that current times resistance equals this
What is Voltage?
500
This is the path of least resistance
What is Short Circuit?
500
When an object (or atoms) have charged ends
What is Polarization?
