A device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy

22
Q

Potential Energy

A

Energy that comes from position or condition

23
Q

Conductors

A

materials that allow thermal energy to be easily transferred

24
Q

Watts

A

Unit of power measuring electric flow

25
Q

Circuit

A
26
Q

Insulators

A

Material where electrons can’t move easily from place to place - ex) plastic, wood, glass, and rubber

27
Q

Power

A

The rate at which energy is transferred by a circuit

28
Q

Difference between parallel circuit and series circuit? + drawing

A

parallel circuit has more than one branch for electricity to flow through

series circuit only has one branch for electricity to flow through.

29
Q

Difference between endo thermic and expo thermic + example

A
