electric basics
This is what makes objects attract or repel eachother
electric force
what is the flow of electric charge
electric current
a complete path for electricity to flow
an electric circuit
a material electricity can easily flow through
an electrical conductor
give me an example of an insulator
rubber
positive and negative are types of
electric charges
current that flows only in one direction
direct current
a circuit with only one path for current
a series circuit
a material electricity does not easily flow through easily
electrical insulator
give me an example of a conductor
metal
The space around a charge where forces act
electric field
current that changes back and forth
alternating current
a circuit with more than one path
a parallel circuit
a device that that melts to stop too much current
a fuse
what is voltage measured in?
voltage
when clothes stick together after the dryer.. they cause this kind of electricity
static electricity
this pushes electric charges through a wire
in this circuit, if one bulb goes out the others stay on.
parallel circuit
a switch that shuts off electricity when its unsafe
a circuit breaker
resistance does this to a current
slows it down
what law states that charges cannot be created or destroyed
the law of conservation of energy
a device that provides energy to a circuit
a battery
in this circuit, if one bulb goes out, all go out.
a series circuit.
sending extra electricity safely into the earth
electrical grounding.
The rule that relates voltage, current, and resistance.
