Question | Answer |
---|---|
conductor | a material that conducts electrons easily |
temperature | the average kinetic energy of all the molecules in an object |
electric circuit | any path along which electrons can flow |
lens | a piece of clear material that bends light rays passing through it |
electric current | the flow of electrons |
convection | the transfer of thermal energy through currents in a liquid or gas |
potential energy | energy an object has because of its location or condition |
heat | the transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another |
insulator | a material that doesn't carry electrons |
electric charge | what an object gets when it gains or loses electrons |
pitch | a quality determined by the speed of vibration of sound waves |
electromagnet | a magnet formed by the flow of electric current |
refraction | the bending of light rays |
energy | the ability to cause changes in matter |
electric force | the attraction or repulsion between objects with a positive or negative charge |
radiation | the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves |
conduction | the direct transfer of thermal energy between objects that touch |
