| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a circular journey or one beginning and ending at the same place; a round. | Circuit |
| A substance, body, or device that readily conducts heat, electricity,or sound | Conductor |
| Insulating material, often glass or porcelain, in a unit form designed so as to support a charged conductor and electrically isolate it. | Insulator |
| One of the electrically charged particles formed in a gas by electric discharge or the like. | Ion |
| The principle that the electric current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it, provided that the temperature remains constant. The constant of proportionality is the resistance of the conductor | Ohms Law |
| The opposition offered by one thing, force, etc., to another. | Resistance |
| Electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts. | Voltage |
| The speed at which such flow moves; velocity of flow. | Current |
| A vector quantity from which is determined the magnitude and direction of the force (electric force) on a charged particle due to the presence of other charged particles, accelerated charged particles, or time-varying currents. | Electric Field |
| A vector quantity from which is determined the magnitude and direction of the force (electric force) on a charged particle due to the presence of other charged particles, accelerated charged particles, or time-varying currents. | Electric Force |
| great or marked ability to do or act; strength; might; force. | Power |
| A circuit having its parts connected serially | Series Circuit |
| A closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then returns via a common path to complete the circuit | Parallel Circuit |
| Elimination of charges | Static Charge |
