Magnetics
A region around an object that can attract or repel other objects in its area
field
A field formed when objects collect electric charges
Electric field
Is a complete, unbroken path that electric charges can flow through
Electric Circuit
A push or pull between two objects
a force
The imbalance of positive and negative particles in an object
Electric charge
A series circuit has all of its devices connected along one path
Series Circuit
An object or material that generates a magnetic field
Magnet
Negatively charged particles that can be transferred from one object to another.
Electrons
A parallel circuit has different branches for different devices
parallel circuit
A field that exerts a force on magnets or on certain metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt.
A magnetic field
A wire coil, sometimes wrapped around a metal core, that produces a magnetic field when electricity runs through the wire.
Electromagnet
Define electric circuit.
Is a complete, unbroken path that electric charges can flow through
The opposite points on a magnet where the magnetic field lines converge (south pole) or diverge (north pole).
magnetic pole
Define electric charge.
The imbalance of positive and negative particles in an object
Define parallel circuit.
