Electricity,
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Circuit | A roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place. |
| Electric field | A region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on other charged particles or objects. |
| Electric power | the product of voltage and current |
| Ohm's law | A law stating that electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. |
| Series circuit | a circuit having its parts connected serially. |
| conductor | In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is a material which contains movable electric charges. In metallic conductors such as copper or aluminum, the movable charged particles are electrons (see electrical conduction). |
| Ion | An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. |
| Voltage | An electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts. |
| Electric discharge | electrical conduction through a gas in an applied electric field. |
| Electric force | Electromagnetism is the branch of science concerned with the forces that occur between electrically charged particles. |
| Resistance | The refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument. |
| parallele Circuit | a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit. |
| Electric Current | a flow of electricity through a conductor; "the current was measured in amperes". |
| Insulator | An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and which therefore does not conduct an electric current, under the influence of an electric field. |
| Static charge | is an excess of electric charge trapped on the surface of an object. The charge remains until it is allowed to escape to an object with a weaker or opposite electrical charge, such as the ground, by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. |
