Magnets and Electricity Flashcards
Motion or interaction of molecules, the ability to do work
Energy
Subatomic particle that has a negative charge
Electrons
A force that can attract or repel objects that contain a magnetic material inside them
-caused by electrical charges
-magnetic materials: cobalt, nickel, iron, magnetite
Magnetism
A region around a magnetic material where the force of magnetism acts
*flow from positive to negative
Magnetic Field
A physical property that causes matter to experience a force
-Protons are positively charged
-Electrons are negatively charged
Charge
Being drawn to another object
*Opposite charges attract
Attraction
To push away from something
*Same charges repel
Repulsion/Repel
Energy resulting from charged particles
Electricity
An imbalance of electric charges within a material
Static Electricity
The area around an electric charge the experiences an electric force
*flow from positive to negative
Electric Field
When electric charges move
Electric Current
A path that electricity flows along that is interrupted or disconnected
Open Circuit
A complete path of electrical connection around which a current flows or circulates
Closed Circuit
One path through which electricity flows
Series Circuit
Multiple paths for electricity to flow from one point to another
Parallel Circuit
