Chapter words

Word Definition
electric force The attraction or repulsion between electric charges.
electric field The region around a charged object where the object’s electric force interacts with other charged objects.
static electricity A buildup of charges on an object.
Conservation of change The law that states that charges are neither created nor destroyed but only transferred from one material to another.
Friction A method of charging an object by rubbing it against another object; the force that one object exerts on another when the two rub against each other.
Conduction A method of charging an object by allowing electrons to flow by direct contact from one object to another object.
Induction A method of charging an object by means of the electric field of another object; the objects have no direct contact.
Static Discharge The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another.
Electric Current The continuous flow of electric charges through a material
Electric circuit A complete, unbroken path through which electric charges can flow.
Conductor A material through which charges can easily flow.
Insulator A material through which charges cannot easily flow
Voltage The difference in electrical potential energy between two places in a circuit.
Voltage Source A device that creates an electrical potential energy difference in an electric circuit; batteries and generators are voltage sources.
Resistance The measurement of how difficult it is for charges to flow through a material.
chemical energy The energy stored in chemical compounds.
chemical reaction A process in which substances change into new substances with different properties.
electrochemical cell A device that transforms chemical energy into electrical energy.
electrode A metal part of an electrochemical cell, which gains or loses electrons.
electrolyte A liquid or paste that conducts electric current.
Terminal A convenient attachment point used to connect a cell or battery to a circuit.
Battery A combination of two or more electrochemical cells in series.
Wet Cell An electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a liquid.
Dry Cell An electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a paste.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
