Charges
All electric charges are these particles
What is an electron
Power =
what is Power = watts = Volts X Amps
A circuit where there is only one path for current to take
What is a series circuit
A device that melts if the current is overloaded in a circuit
What is a fuse
When charges move WITHIN THEIR ATOMS(in an insulator) because nearby charges are interacting with them
What is INDUCTION
Two negative electrons will
What is repel
OHMS =
what is Ohms = Volts (pressure) / Amps(current)
A connection that lets allows current to take the path of least resistance
What is a short circuit
A connection that lets allows current to take the path of least resistance
What is a short circuit
How do conductors differ from insulators?
What is the atoms in conductors have loosely bound electrons that can move freely between atoms. Electrons in insulators cannot move freely
transferring charges by direct contact
What is conduction
Unit of measure for resistance
What is an Ohm
A circuit where there are several paths for current to take
What is a parallel circuit
Switches that bend away if they get too hot stopping the flow of current- they can be reset
What is a circuit breaker
A region around a charged object where the electric force is exerted on other charged objects
What is an electric field
A positive and a negative charge will
What is attract
Unit of measure for Volts
what is VOLTS
Connects an appliances metal parts to a buildings ground wire
What is a the third prong
Materials theDO NOT allow electric charges to flow
What is an insulator
What is a circuit made of
What is a device that runs on electricity, a power source, and conducting wires.
making electrons move in awire with a magnetic field
what is induction
Unit of measure for POWER
what is WATTS
Any circuit connected to the Earth
What is a grouned circuit
What affects current flow?
What is Current flow is affected by the energy of the charges and the properties of the object s the charges flow through
How do charges interact?
What is opposites attract, like charges repel
