ICP Flashcards
Static electricity
electricity in which charges dont move
current electricty
electricity in which chargers move
conductor
materials that electricity flows through
insulator
material that electricty can not flow through
semi-conductor
material that is sometimes an insulator, sometimes a conductor, sometimes an insulator
super conductor
very conductive
resistance
opposes electricity
magnetic field
a region of space affected by the presence of a magnet
magnetic field
a region of space presented by the effect of a magnet
ferromagnetic materials
materials most effected by magnets
permanant magnet
retains their magnetism for a long time
temporary magnet
only magnetic near other magnets
magnetic domain
very small area within a material that are magnetically aligned
AC electricty
produces an alternating current
DC electricity
“direct current” produces a constant direction in current flow
