Electricity vocabulary, and brain pop video

TermDefinition
Conductor A material that transmit Its or allows, electrical energy ( electrons ) to flow.
Insulator A material that prevents electrical energy ( electrons) to flow
Proton A positively charged particle located in the nucleus of an atom
Electron A negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus in the cloud
Voltage A measure of the difference in electrical potential between objects that have opposite charges
Resistance A measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow
Current electricity The movement of electrons which creates the flow of electricity
Electrical circuit An electrical device which provides a specific path for electric current or electrons to flow
Parallel Circuit Circuit with more than one conducting path for current to flow. Allows multiple appliances to be turned on and off independently.
Series circuit Circuit with a single conducting path for current to flow. When multiple appliances are connected, if one is turned on the other will be turned on as well.
Static electricity The buildup of electric charge on an object. The charge remains on the object until it flows into the ground for as quickly discharged.
Electricity The flow of electrical charges used to produce light and heat and to run motors. It is the result of the movement of electrons
Energy source Powers a turbine to run a generator
Generator Turns large copper coils inside huge magnets, producing electricity
Transformer Sends the electric current to the powerlines
Electrical charge The charge a proton or electron has protons have a positive charge electrons have a negative charge
Insulators Material materials like plastic rubber cloth, and glass that hold electrons tightly
Conductors Materials that let electrons move more freely. Most metals are good conductors of electricity.
Watts The units used to measure electricity
Load component A toaster
Open Circiut Broken circuit where electrons can not flow
closed circut unbroken circuit electrons can flow

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.
