QuestionAnswer
current the flow of electrtons through a circit measured in amps a property of electricity
parrallel circuit a circuit with more than one closed path connecting the electrical components electric current can flow along more than one path if a component in one path fails more tcurrent and still flow in the other paths
series circuit a circuit in withc there is only one path connecting the electrical components electric current can flow along only one path if one component of the circut fails the circuit cannot flow
voltage the force of eletricity that flows through a ciruit mesured in volts a property of electricy
conductors matrials that rransmit heator electicity well and do not not allow it flow
insulator matrials that do not conduct heat or electricywell do not allow it to flow
resistance anything ethat slows down the flow of electic charges measured in ohms a property of electricity
short sircuit a path for electric current to flow with verry low resistance as a result a high amount of current flows the wires get very hot and hot can melt enough tat can proced to cause a fire
fuse a device that consists of a conductor with a low melting poind tith a fuse in a circuit if too much current flows the heat released melts the fuse and the circuit is opend
circuit jbreaker a reusable device that protects a circuit from becumming over loaded with excessive current
closed or complete circuit an electrical circuit that can be traced in a continuous path from the souur of electrical energy around the circuit and back to the energy source
open or incomplete circut when the electrivity cannot flow throgh something is missing
power source what supplies the electrical energy battery outlet
energy path what carries the electricity through the circuit wires cables
receiver determines if the circuit is complet the bulbs fillament the light is on the radio is playing

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.
