Physics
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conduction | The transfer of heat through solids. |
| Convection | Transfer of heat by moving the molecules of a gas and/or liquid |
| Current | The flow of electrons through a conductor. An electric current is a flow of electric charge. |
| Electricity | The flow of electrons through a conductor or the additional or loss of electrons from a material. |
| Electrochemical Force | The force that charged objects exert on one another. |
| Electromagnetic Spectrum | Electromagnetic waves can exhibit a distribution of an electron in an atom or molecule. |
| Endothermic | A process or reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat. |
| Exothermic | A process or reaction that releases energy usually in the form of heat, but it can also release energy in the form of light (e.g. explosions), sound or electricity (e.g. a battery). |
| Frequency | The number of repeated wave cycles per second. |
| Magnets | A material that attracts or repels the same material and attracts iron and steel |
| Mass | How much matter there is in an object |
| Ohm’s Law | States that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points |
| Period | The time in seconds for one wave cycle to occur; an interval of time |
