Electricity Flashcards
The accumulation of excess electric charge on an object.
Static Electricity
Charge can be transferred from object to object but it cannot be created or destroyed.
Law Of Conservation Of Charge
A material in which electrons are able to move easily.
Conductor
A material in which electrons are not able to move easily.
Insulator
The process of transferring charge by touching or rubbing.
Charging By Contact
The rearrangement of electrons on a neutral object caused by a nearby charged object.
Charging By Induction
The net movement of electric charges in a single direction.
Electric Current
Related to the force that causes electric charges to flow.
Voltage DIfference
A closed path that electric Current follows.
Circuit
The tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons.
Resistance
The current in a circuit equals the voltage DIfference divided my resistance.
Ohm’s Law
the current has only one loop to flow through.
Series Circuit
Contains two or more branches for current to move through.
Parallel Circuit
The rate at which electrical energy is converted to another form of energy.
Electric Power
Contains two connected plates and made of different metals.
Wet Cell Battery
