Electricity and Magnetism
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The transfer of electric charge between objects in contact. | CHARGING BY CONTACT |
| The rearrangement of electric charge due to the presence of an electric field. | CHARGING BY INDUCTION |
| Materials in which electric charges do not move easily. | INSULATOR |
| Materials in which electric charges move easily. | CONDUCTOR |
| The inbalance of electric charge on an object. | STATIC CHARGE |
| The movement of static charge from one place to another. | ELECTRIC DISCHARGE |
| The flow of electric charges. | ELECTRIC CURRENT |
| A closed path in which electric charges can flow. | ELECTRIC CIRCUIT |
| The measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow in an object. | ELECTRIC RESISTANCE |
| The measure of the amount of electrical energy transferred by an electric charge as it moves from one point to another in a circuit. | VOLTAGE |
| Devices connected so there is only one closed path for the current to follow. | SERIES CIRCUIT |
| Devices connected so there is more than one path for the current to follow. | PARALLEL CIRCUIT |
| A group of atoms that have their magnetic poles pointing in the same direction. | MAGNETIC DOMAIN |
| A current carrying wire wrapped around an iron core. | ELECTROMAGNET |
| The production of an electric current by moving a magnet and a loop relative to each other. | ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION |
