| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Leyden Jar | An early type of capacitor used to store and release electrical energy. |
| Positive and Negative | The two types of electric charge, as coined by Benjamin Franklin. |
| Benjamin Franklin | A prominent American scientist who conducted experiments on electricity in the 18th century. |
| Alessandro Volta | An Italian physicist who invented the voltaic pile, the first chemical battery. |
| Voltaic Pile | A device that produces a steady flow of electric current through chemical reactions. |
| André-Marie Ampère | A French physicist who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetism. |
| Electromagnetism | The interaction between electric charges and magnetic fields. |
| Ampère's Law | A fundamental law of electromagnetism that relates electric current to the magnetic field it produces. |
| Ancient Greeks | The first people to observe and study electrical phenomena. |
| James Clerk Maxwell | A Scottish physicist who unified electricity and magnetism with his equations. |
| Electric Generator | A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. |
| Electricity | A form of energy generated by friction, induction, or chemical change. |
| Electricity | Electrons in motions |
| Subatomic Particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons) | Fundamental particles that make up atoms |
| Electron | A subatomic particle with a negative electric charge that orbits the nucleus of an atom. They are responsible for electricity's flow in conductive materials. |
| Proton | A positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge that is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the charge of an electron. |
| Neutron | A subatomic particle with no electric charge that is located in the nucleus of an atom. It is also located in the nucleus alongside protons. |
| Molecules | It is made up of atoms. |
| Matter | It is made up of molecules. |
| Charges | Fundamental properties of matter that can be positive or negative. They interact through electromagnetic forces, giving rise to electrical fields and electric currents. |
| Ions | Atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net electric charge. |
| Cations | Positively charged ions |
| Anions | Negatively charged ions |
| Resistance | The measure of opposition to the flow of electric current in a material or component. |
| Conductance | The reciprocal of resistance, representing the ease with which electric current can flow through a material. |
| Electric Current | The flow of electric charge (usually electrons) through a conductor. |
| Voltage | Also known as electric potential difference, it is the energy difference per unit charge between two points in an electric circuit. |
| Volts (V) | The unit of measurement for voltage. |
| Power | The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred in an electric circuit. |
| Watts (W) | The unit of measurement for power. |
| Circuit | A closed path or loop through which electric current flows. |
| Insulator | A material that does not allow electric charges to flow easily through it. |
| Source | A device that provides electrical energy to a circuit. |
| Load | A component or device in a circuit that consumes or utilizes electrical energy. |
| Voltage | A scalar quantity that measures the energy difference per unit charge between two points in an electric circuit. |
| Direct Current (DC) | A type of electric current where the direction of the current and voltage remains constant over time. |
| Alternating Current (AC) | A type of electric current where the direction of the current and voltage periodically switches. |
| Electrical Charge | A property of particles that gives rise to electromagnetic interactions. |
| Coulomb (C) | The unit of measurement for electric charge. |
| 1 Coulomb | 6.24 x 10^18 electrons is equivalent to? |
| Ohm's Law | The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. |
| Georg Simon Ohm | A German physicist and mathematician who formulated Ohm's Law. |
| Series Circuit | A circuit where components are connected in a single, continuous path. |
| Current Flow | Electric current flows through each component in a series circuit without branching off. |
| Parallel Circuit | A circuit where components are connected in multiple branches. |
| Current Branching | Electric current divides and flows through each branch of a parallel circuit. |
| Schematic Diagram | A simplified and symbolic representation of a circuit. |
| Circuit Diagram | A visual representation of an electrical circuit. |
