energy set 2 Flashcards
energy transfer
when energy moves from one place to an other.
pathway
Ex: counducting wires that connect the two terminals of the battery
open and close circuit
Open circuit: an open circuit is a circuit in which the path is incomplete which means there is no flow of the current.
switch
a switch is an electrical component that is used to turn on and turn off any equipment like a television,washing machine,lights ,fan,etc
electric current
electric current is the flow of electric charge from one place e to an another in the circuit
electric circric model
an electric circuit has to power t source,wires for the electric to flow through,an a device such as a lamp or an motor that uses electric current.
open and closed circuit
CLOSED CIRCUIT: a closed circuit is a circuit in which the path is complete and three is a flow of current in the entire path
insulators
substances that do not allow electric charge to pass through.Ex: glass air,cotton, plastic,rubber and wood.
couductors
Substance that an electric charge can pass through without difficulty.
