electric potential the work that must be performed against electric forces to move a charge from a reference point to the point in question divided by the charge
potential difference the work that must be performed against electric forces to move a charge between the two points in question, divided by the charge
capacitance the ability of a conductor to store energy in the form of electrically separated charges
electric current the rate at which electric charges pass through a given area
drift velocity the net velocity of a charge carrier moving in an electric force
resistance the opposition presented to electric current by a material or device
schematic diagram a representation of a circuit that uses lines to represent wires and different symbols to represent components
electric circuit a set of electrical components connected such that they provide one or more complete paths for the movement of charges

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.
