electrical conductor | is material through which can move freely. |
electrical insulator | is 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 | is the amount of work required to move each unit of charge between two points. |
electric circuit | closed path in 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 they can flow. |
