Part two Flashcards
When energy moves from one place to another
Energy transfer
Such as a light bulb or other device that uses energy
User
A electric circuit has to have a power source for the electricity to flow through and a device such as a lamp or a motor that uses electric current
Electric circuit model
Substances that do not allow an electric charge to pass through. Ex: glass air,cotton,plastic,rubber and wood
Insulators
Substances than an electric charge can pass through without difficulty. Ex:power lines, fences for livestock,battery jumper cables,powering electronic devices,also copper, aluminum, iron, steel, gold and sliver
Conductors
An open circuit is a circuit in which the path is incomplete which means there is no flow of current. A closed circuit is a circuit which the path is complete and there is a flow of a current in the entire path
Open and Closed Circuits
