Electricity

QuestionAnswer
circuit a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place
conductor a person who directs the performance of an orchestra or choir
electric current Electric current is a flow of electric charge through a conductive medium
electric discharge Electric discharge describes any flow of electric charge through a gas, liquid or solid
electric field An electric field is the region of space surrounding electrically charged particles and time-varying magnetic fields.
electric force To understand electric fields and electromagnetic waves, you need to know how charges (such as "negative" electrons and "positive" protons ) cause each other to move.
electric power Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred by an electric circuit
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
ion An ion is 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 Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.
parallel circuit one connected completely in parallel is known as a parallel circuit.
resistance a measure of the degree to which an object opposes an electric current through it
series circuit A circuit composed solely of components connected in series is known as a series circuit
static charge tatic electricity is an excess of electric charge trapped on the surface of an object
voltage is 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.
