Resistance, Insulators, Fuse, Series Circuit, Static Electricity...

TermDefinition
Insulator A material that doesn't allow electrons to flow through it easily.
Conductor A material that allows electrons to flow freely through it.
Induction The rearrangement of electrons on a neutral object, caused by a nearby charged object.
Volt Unit used to measure voltage.
Ampere (Amp) Unit used to measure current.
Fuse A device used to keep electrical circuits from overheating.
Resistance The tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons.
Ohm Unit used to measure resistance.
Ohm's Law The statement that current is equal to the voltage difference, divided by the resistance.
Series Circuit A path that allows only one route for an electric current.
Parallel Circuit A circuit that has two or more branches for electrons to follow.
Static Electricity Electric charge that has accumulated on an object.
Electrical Power The rate at which an electrical device converts energy from one form to another.
Electroscope A device that can detect the presence of a static electric charge.
Relationship among Power, Current, and Voltage Power(P)= Current(I) x Voltage(V)

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.
