Q

potential energy

A

The energy that comes from position or condition. The higher the object, the more potential energy it has

17
Q

Electrodes

A

Good conductors of electricity that is usually connecting nonmetals

Q

Voltage

A

Voltage is a measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow through a material

20
Q

circuit

A

A circuit is a complete circular path that electricity flows through.

21
Q

Insulators

A

a material in which electrons can not move easily from place to place

22
Q

conductors

A

Allow electrons to move through easily

23
Q

ions

A

An atom or molecule with a net electric charge

24
Q

Kinetic energy

A

Objects in motion has kinetic energy

25
Resistance
The measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow through a material
26
electric current
Steady flow of electrons through a conductor measure in units of ampers
27
series circuit
Only one path for an electric current to follow
28
Energy transformation
The change of energy from one form to another
29
Energy
Energy is the ability to change
