Electricity and Mag
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Electric Charge | A property that leads to electromagnetic interactions between the particles that make up matter. |
Static Electricity | The build up of electric charge on an object |
Electrical Conductor | A material through which charges can move freely. |
Electrical Insulator | A material through which charges cannot move easily. |
Semiconductors | Are a special class of materials that conduct electric charge better than electrical insulators but not as well as electrical conductors. |
Electric Current | The rate of flow of electric charges |
Voltage | The amount is the of work required to move each unit of charged between two points |
Electric Circuit | A complete, closed path through which electric charges can flow. |
Series Circuit | All parts are connected in a row that forms one path for the electric charges to follow. |
Parallel Circuit | Electric charges have more than one path that they can follow. |
Magnet | Describes any material that attracts iron or objects made of iron. |
Magnetic Force | When to magnets push away from each other (push or pull). |
Magnetic Poles | Ends of a magnet. |
Magnetic Feild | Are surrounding a magnet where magnetic froces can be detected. |
Electromagnetism | Results when electric currents and magnetic feilds interact with each other |
Electromagnet | An electromagnet combines the magnetic field of the solenoid with the magnetic field of the magnetized iron core. |
