Electric Charge
It is composed of atoms
What is matter?
It is a material through which electrons move easily.
What is a conductor
It is the net movement of electric charges in a single direction
What is an electric current?
It is an electric circuit with only one branch
What is series circuit?
It's an object with no net charge
What is electrically neutral?
This can strike and can cause power outages, injury, fires, and loss of life
What is lightening?
It's the force that causes electric charges to flow.
What is voltage difference?
Contains two or more branches for current
What is parallel circuits?

What is electric circuit?
When any part of a series circuit is disconnected.
What is an open circuit?
It is the accumulation of excess electric charge on an object
What is static electricity?
It surrounds every electric charge and exerts the force that causes other electric charges to be attracted or repelled.
What is an electric field?
It's measured in ohms and has the tendency for a material to resist the flow of electrons.
What is resistance?
Fuses and _______ are used to prevent wires from overheating.
What is circuit breakers?
States that charge can be transferred from object to object.
What is law of conservation
The rearrangement of electrons on a neutral object caused by a nearby charged object.
What is charging by induction?
The current in a circuit equals the voltage difference divided by the resistance.
What is Ohm's Law?
It is the rate at which electrical energy is converted to another form of energy.
