Circuits
Electric current has a complete path to flow; objects in the circuit work
Closed circuit
a person who invented a particular process or device or who invents things as an occupation
a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power.
an instrument for measuring electric potential in volts
voltmeter
an integrated circuit that contains all the functions of a central processing unit of a computer
microprocessor
Wires can be arranged in two different ways.
parallel and series
a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works
engineer
a person who applies the principles of software engineering to the design, development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation of computer software.
software engineer
the two parts to a battery that wires use
positive and negative terminals
a thin rigid board containing an electric circuit; a printed circuit
circuit board
The path is broken and electric current cannot flow; switches can open and close circuits
Open circuit
a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences.
scientist
a semiconductor diode which glows when a voltage is applied
LED (light emitting diode)
the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.
chemistry
a table of the chemical elements arranged in order of atomic number, usually in rows, so that elements with similar atomic structure (and hence similar chemical properties) appear in vertical columns
periodic table (of elements)
Allow electrical energy to flow readily through them; inside of wires
Conductors
a specialist (usually a doctor) in the anatomy, functions, and organic disorders of nerves and the nervous system.
neurologist
supply (a device) with mechanical or electrical energy
power
a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids
electrons
a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this
conductor
Do not allow electrical energy to pass through them; coating on wires
Insulators
a person who applies the principles of software engineering to the design, development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation of computer software.
software engineer
the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.
power
a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign
the biochemical emission of light by living organisms such as fireflies and deep-sea fishes.
the light emitted by organisms such as fireflies and deep-sea fishes
bioluminescence
