Energy set 2 Flashcards
Energy Transfer
When energy moves from one place to another.
Pathway
Ex: conducting wires that connect the two terminals of the battery
Open Circuits
Open circuits: An open circuit is a circuit in which the path is incomplete which means there is no flow of current.
Closed Circuits
Closed circuit: A closed circuit is a circuit in which the path is complete and there is a flow of current in the entire path
Switch
A switch is an electrical component that is used to turn on and turn off any equipment like television, washing machine, lights, fans, etc.
Electric Current
Electric current is the flow of electric charge from one place to another in a circuit
Electric Circuit Model
An electric circuit has to have a power source, wires for the electricity to flow through, and a device such as a lamp or motor that uses the electric current
Insulators
Substances that do not allow an electric charge to pass though. Ex: glass, air, cotton, plastic, rubber and wood.
Conductors
Substance that do a
