vocab Flashcards
A material in which electrons cannot easily move an
electric insulator
A material in which electrons can easily move are
electric conductors
When electrons concentrate at one end of an object the object is
polarized
The process of an unbalanced electric charge becoming balanced is an electric
discharge
Providing a path for electric charges to flow safely into the ground is called
grounding
Tha movement of electrically charged particles is an
electric current.
A closed, or complete path in which an electric current travels is an
electric circuit.
Electric Resistance
is a measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to flow in a material.
is the amount of energy a source uses to move one coulomb of electrons through the circuit.
Voltage
Ohm’s law
is a mathematical equation that describes the relationship among voltage, current and resistance.
math
V=IR
Current=I, resistance=R,V=voltage
Voltage is measured in Volts (V)
I is measured in amperes (A)
R is measured in ohms( 𝛀)
is an electrical circuit with only one path for an electric current to follow.
Series circuit
is an electric circuit with more than one path, or branch, for an electric current to follow.
Parallel circuit
