Electricity

QuestionAnswer
A force that pushes a current through a circuit Voltage
friction that impedes flow of current through the circuit Resistance
the actual “substance” that is flowing through the wires of the circuit Current
Electrical currents are measured in Amps
An electric current is a flow of microscopic particles Electrons
are broken and do not allow the flow of electrons Open Circuits
are complete and allow the flow of electrons Closed Circuits
Devices connected in series to prevent the overloading of circuits Fuses
the presence and/or flow of electric charges Electricity
control the movement of electric current by providing paths for electrons to follow Circuits
there is only one path for the electric current or electricity to flow Series Circuit
there is more than one path for the electric current or electricity to flow. Parallel Circuit
can be used to test whether an object is a conductor or an insulator. Open circuit
A material, such as wood or glass, which electrons do not move freely Insulator
A material, such as cooper or silver, which electrons move freely Conductor
A material which electricity has trouble flowing through Resistor
Electrical potential of an electron Voltage

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.
