| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| electric charge | the property that leads to EM interactions between the particals that make up matter |
| static electricity | a build of electric charge on a object |
| electrical cunductor | a material through charges can move freely |
| electrical insulator | material in which charges can not move freely |
| semiconductor | special class of materials that conduct ELECTRIC CHARGE BETTER than insulators |
| electic current | rate of low electric charges |
| voltage | reguired work to move each unit og charge betweeen two points exspressed in OHMS |
| resistance | expressed in ohms |
| 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 electric charges to follow. |
| parallel circuit | electric charges have more than more than one path that they can follow. |
| magnet | any material that attracts iron |
| magnetic force | when you bring to magnets together |
| magnetic pole | to magnets can push each other apart because of there ends |
| magnetic field | area where magnetic force can be detected |
| electromagnetism | results when electric currents and magnetic fields interact |
| solenoid | the more loops the stronger the field |
| electromagnetic | wrapping solenoid around an iron core |
| electric motor | changes electric into mechanic |
| electromagnetic induction b | using a field to create an electric current in a wire b |
| transformer a | uses induction to increase a |
| electric generator q | uses induction to change machanical energy q |
