Electricity Vocab
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Insulators | is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and therefore make it nearly impossible to conduct an electric current under the influence of an electric field. |
| magnetic field | a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. |
| Parallel and Series | the two simplest are called series and occur frequently |
| Diode | a semiconductor device with two terminals, typically allowing the flow of current in one direction only. |
| Circuit | a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place. |
| Transistor | a semiconductor device with three connections, capable of amplification in addition to rectification. |
| Chemical | a compound or substance that has been purified or prepared, especially artificially |
| MRI | a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body. |
| Series Circuit | a closed circuit in which the current follows one path, as opposed to a parallel circuit where the circuit is divided into two or more paths. |
| Electric Current | a flow of electric charge. |
| P=IV | a method to measure velocities in fluid. |
| Direct Current | an electric current flowing in one direction only. |
| Transformer | an apparatus for reducing or increasing the voltage of an alternating current. |
| Ohm's Law | A law relating the voltage difference between two points, the electric current flowing between them, and the resistance of the path of the current. |
