energy transfer
when energy moves from one place to another.
pathway
ex:conducting wires that connect the two terminals of the battery.
open and closed circuit
open circuit: an open circuit is a circuit in which the path is incomplet which means there is no flow of current closed circuit: A closed circuit is a circuit in which the path is complet and there is a flow of current in the entire path.
switch
A switch is an electrical componet that is used to turn on and turn off any equipment like a TV, washing maching,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 electrit circuit has to have a power source, wires for the electricity flow to 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 through. ex: glass,air,cotton,plastic,rubber,and wood.
