| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| electric charge | is the property that leads the electromatic interations between the particles that make up matter |
| static electicity | is the buidup of electic charge on an object |
| electrical conductor | is a materical through witch charges can move freely |
| electical insulator | is a material through which charges cannot move easily |
| semiconductor | are a special class of materials that conduct electric charge better than electrical insulators |
| electric current | the rate of flow of electic charges |
| voltage | is the amount of work required to move each unit of charge between points |
| resitance | the oppostion to the flow of electric charge |
| electric circuit | is a complete closed path through which electric charges can flow |
| series circuit | all parts are connected in a row the forms one path for the electric charges flow |
| parallel circuit | electric charges have more than one path that they can fallow |
