| Electrical Discharge | The rapid movement of excess electrons from one place to another |
| Conduction | Transfers the electrons from one object to another by direct contact |
| Induction | When charges in an uncharged object are transfered without direct contact wit a charged object |
| Cell(Battery) | A source of energy |
| Photo Cell | Converts solar energy to electric energy |
| Current | A wave of electricty |
| Voltage | A measure of the pressure under which electricity flows |
| Resistance | Dependent on the thickness and length, material, and the temperature |
| AC/DC | Direct current; Alternating current |
| Circuit | A path that charges follow |
| Series circuit | A circuit in which all parts are connected in a single loop |
| Parallel circuit | A circuit in which different loads are located on seperate branches |
