Electricity Vocab

TermDefinition
Insulators is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and therefore make it nearly impossible to conduct an electric current under the influence of an electric field.
magnetic field a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.
Parallel and Series the two simplest are called series and occur frequently
Diode a semiconductor device with two terminals, typically allowing the flow of current in one direction only.
Circuit a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place.
Transistor a semiconductor device with three connections, capable of amplification in addition to rectification.
Chemical a compound or substance that has been purified or prepared, especially artificially
MRI a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body.
Series Circuit a closed circuit in which the current follows one path, as opposed to a parallel circuit where the circuit is divided into two or more paths.
Electric Current a flow of electric charge.
P=IV a method to measure velocities in fluid.
Direct Current an electric current flowing in one direction only.
Transformer an apparatus for reducing or increasing the voltage of an alternating current.
Ohm's Law A law relating the voltage difference between two points, the electric current flowing between them, and the resistance of the path of the current.

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.
