Circuit ex. a closed conducting loop which electric charges move through
Conductor a person who conducts a leader, guide, director, or manager.
Electric current the time rate of flow of electric charge, in the direction that a positive moving charge would take and having magnitude equal to the quantity of charge per unit time
Electric discharge is the release and transmission of electricity in an applied electric field through a medium such as a gas.
Electric field A region of space characterized by the existence of a force generated by electric charge.
Electric force Two electrically charged objects exert a force upon each other.
Electric power Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred.
Ion an atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative electric charge from losing or gaining one or more electrons
Insulator a material that allows little or no heat, electricity, or sound to go into or out of something
Ohm’s law the law that for any circuit the electric current is directly proportional to the voltage and is inversely proportional to the resistance.
Parallel circuit a closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then returns via a common path to complete the circuit.
Resistance a property of a conductor by virtue of which the passage of current is opposed, causing electric energy to be transformed into heat
Series circuit An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
Static charge a stationary electric charge built up on an insulating material.
Voltage is the electric force that causes the free electrons to move from one atom to another.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
