Electricity Data

Science Words about electricity

QuestionAnswer
circuit a special type of network, one that has a closed loop giving a return path for the current
conductor a material allowing the flow of electrical charge
electric current a flow of electric charge through a conductive medium
electric discharge describes any flow of electric charge through a gas, liquid or solid
electric field the region of space surrounding electrically charged particles and time-varying magnetic fields.
electric force law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles
electric power the rate at which electric energy is transferred by an electric circuit
insulator a substance that resists electric current
ion an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge
ohm's law the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points
paralled circuit Components of an electrical circuit or electronic circuit can be connected in many different ways
resistance the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that element; the inverse quantity is electrical conductance, the ease at which an electric current passes.
series circuit Components connected in parallel are connected so the same voltage is applied to each component.
static charge an excess of electric charge trapped on the surface of an object
voltage the electric potential difference between two points — or the difference in electric potential energy of a unit test charge transported between two points

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.
