——————- is our most versatile form of energy.
electrity/electrical energy
the word electricity comes from the word ——————.
electron
matter is made up of electricity? t/f
true
central nucleus, positively charge?
proton
outer sector, negatively charge?
electron
as temperature increases, electron moves rapidly and splits at very high temperature. t/f
true
electrons flowing in the conductor is known as?
electric current
electrical pressure, the potential to do work.
voltage
voltage is compared to a?
water pressure
movement of electric charge (electrons).
current
current is compared to a?
moving water
amount of electricity flow in a conductor.
current
force which causes electrons to flow a conductor.
voltage
opposition of a material to the flow.
resistance
amount of energy or work that can be delivered by the current and the voltage.
power
path of flow of energy
circuit
objects which are part of a circuit and through which current flows.
circuit elements
a current flow through an unintended path.
fault
defines the relationship of the voltage, the current and the resistance in the electrical circuit.
ohm’s law
two types of voltages
-high voltage
-low voltage
660 volts or more
high voltage
transmission lines
high voltage
