| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The accumulation f excess electric charge on an object | Static electricity |
| Charge the can be transferred from object to object but it cannot be created or destroyed | law of conservation of charge |
| material such as copper wire n which electrons can move easily | conductor |
| material in which electrons are not able to move easily | insulator |
| process of transferring charge between objects by touching or rubbing | charging by contact |
| process of rearranging electrons on a neutral object by bringing a charged object close to it | charging by induction |
| the net movement of electric charges in a single direction measured in amperes | electric current |
| related to the force that causes electric charges to flow | voltage difference |
| closed conducting loop through which an electric current can flow | circuit |
| tendency for a material to oppose electron flow and change electrical energy into thermal energy and light | resistance |
| states that the current in a circuit equals the voltage difference divided by the resistance | Ohms law |
| circuit in which electric current has more than one path to follow | Parallel circuits |
| rate at which electrical energy is converted to another form of energy | electric power |
