Even smaller than an atom, these tiny particles are capable of movement and create electric charge.
Electrons
When rolling down a hill, a student on a skateboard is demonstrating this type of energy.
Kinetic
This is the main different between static electricity and electricity in a circuit.
Electrons flow through a complete pathway.
Current is directly proportional to voltage, meaning that if one is increased the other will do this.
Increase
There are three laws of static charge: neutral objects are attracted to charged objects, like charges repel, and this third law.
Opposite charges attract
When an atom GAINS electrons, it now has this type of charge.
Negative
This is the energy that results when charges that are the same are forced to be close together.
Electrical Potential Energy
A light bulb, motor, or heater, something that transforms electrical energy in a circuit is called by this name.
Load
In a series circuit with one bulb, increasing the voltage of the battery will in turn increase this value.
Current
The battery of this circuit diagram represents this many volts.
3.0 V
This force occurs when two objects are rubbed together, causing electrons to be lost by one object and gained by the other.
Friction
Using electrodes and electrolytes, a battery converts this type of energy into electrical energy.
Chemical
This term describes the number of electrons passing through a circuit each second. It does not get used up.
Current
Increasing this value will cause a light bulb to dim in a series circuit.
Resistance
Lightning is an example of this type of electricity.
Static
Metals like copper and aluminum are good examples of this, a material that allows electrons to flow easily
Conductor
The electrical energy needed to operate a fan is transformed into these types of energy.
Mechanical, Heat, Sound
In this type of circuit, the total voltage of the battery will be equal to the voltage lost in all the loads added together.
Series Circuit
An appliance that has a resistance of 10 ohms and a current flowing through it at 3A must be supplied with this amount of voltage.
30 volts
In a parallel circuit with 2 pathways, an ammeter reads 0.8A near the battery terminals. This is what it reads in pathway #2.
0.4 Amps
Electric force depends on two things: the amount of charge, and this. The greater it is, the lower the electric force, or push/pull, will be
Distance
To find the electric potential energy of a battery, a voltmeter reads this, the amount of energy at one side compared to the other side.
Electric Potential Difference or Voltage
The resistance is decreased with each added resistor added in this type of circuit.
In a parallel circuit, the voltage of each pathway is equal to this.
The total voltage of the source/battery.
A string of LED lights that all burn out even if just on bulb is dead must be connected with this type of circuit.
Series
