The transfer of electrons from one object to another by direct contact
What is Conduction
100
A material through which charges can flow easily
What is Conductor
100
If all the parts of an electric circuit are connected one after another along one path
What is Series circuit
100
A connection that allows a current to take the path of least resistance
What is Short circuit
200
A region around a charged object where the objects electric force is exerted on other charged objects
What is Electric field
200
The transfer of electrons from one charged object to another by rubbing two objects together
What is Friction
200
Materials such as rubber, that do not allow charges to flow
What is Insulator
200
When different parts of the circuit are on separate branches
What is Parallel circuit
200
Connects the metal parts of appliances to the buildings ground wire
What is Third Prong
300
The buildup of charges on an object
What is Static electricity
300
When electrons can react to the electric field of a charged object without touching the object itself
What is Induction
300
The measure of how difficult it is for charges to flow through an object
What is Resistance
300
The rate at which energy is transformed from one form to another
What is Power
300
Any circuit connected to earth
What is Grounded
400
States that charges are neither created or destroyed
What is conservation of charge
400
The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another
What is Static discharge
400
The difference in electrical potential energy per charge between two point in a circuit
What is Voltage
400
DAILY DOUBLE!!!!!: An object that turns electrical energy into other forms of energy such as heat, light, mechanical, and sound energy
What is a resistor
400
Devices that melt if they get too hot and break when their triggered
What is Fuse
500
When electrons can move only within their own atoms; the electrons react to electric fields, resulting in individual atoms having charged ends that are attracted to charged objects
What is Polarization
500
A complete unbroken path that charges can flow through
What is Electric circuit
500
The continuous flow of electric charges through a material
What is Electric Current
500
A law that says resistance in a circuit is equal to voltage divided by current
What is Ohm's law
500
Switches that will bend away from circuits as they heat up and can be reset
