energy set 2 Flashcards
energy transfer
when energy moves from one place to another
pathway
ex:conducting wires that connect the two termenals of the battery
open circuits
an open circuit is a circuit in which the path is incomplete which means there is no flow of current
closed circuit
a closed circuit is a circuit in which the path is in 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 a tv washing machine light 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 power source wires for the electricity to flow through and a device such as a lamp or a motor that uses the electric current
insulators
substances that do not allow an electric charge to pass through. ex:
