A material in which electrons can move easilty between atoms.
What is a Conductor?
200
A cell that contains a liquid electrolyte.
What is a Wet Cell?
200
Also known as static charge; an electric charge that tends to stay on the surface of an object, rather than flowing away quickly.

A cell that can be used only once.
What is a Primary Cell?
300
A charged atom or group of atoms.
What is an Ion?
300
A rotating machine which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What is a Generator?
400
The unit used to specify the rate at which electrical energy is dissipated.
What is a Watt?
400
An object that can supply a very large number of electrons to, or can remove a very large amount of electrons from a charged object, thus neutralizing the object.
What is a Ground?
400
A cell that converts sunlight into electrical energy.
What is a Solar Cell.
