| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What allows electrons to move through it easily? | Conductor |
| closed path through which electrons flow | circuit |
| accumulation of electric charges on an object. | static electricity |
| circuit with more than one path | parallel circuit |
| tendency of a material to opppose electron flow | resistance |
| what does not allow electricity to move through it easily? | insulator |
| a push that causes charges to move | voltage difference |
| surrounds electric charge and exerts force on other charges. | electric field |
| rate at which electrical energy is changed to another energy form | electric power |
| flow of electrons through a conductor | electric current |
| circuit with only one path | series |
| unit of electrical energy | kilowatt power |
| current is equal to the voltage difference of a circuit divided by its resistance | Ohm's law |
| metal rod that directs lightning to Earth | lightning rod |
| device that detects electric charges | electroscope |
| the symbol V stands for? | volts |
| this can open and close a circuit | switch |
| transferring charge by touching is charging by | contact |
| units used to measure the rate of electron flow | amperes |
| the unit of electric energy is the kilowatt- | hour |
| what expresses in watts | electrical power |
| a flashlight is an example of what | dry cell |
| a car battery is an example of what | wet cell |
| one thousand watts of power used in 60 minutes is | 1 kilowatt-hour |
| current has only one loop to flow through in a | series circuit |
| current is measeured in | amperes |
| the tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons is called | resistance |
| electric energy is equal to | power x time |
| Ohm's law states that the current equals | current x voltage diffrenece |
| a current has 2 or more branches in a | parallel circuit |
