Chapter words
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| electric force | The attraction or repulsion between electric charges. |
| electric field | The region around a charged object where the object’s electric force interacts with other charged objects. |
| static electricity | A buildup of charges on an object. |
| Conservation of change | The law that states that charges are neither created nor destroyed but only transferred from one material to another. |
| Friction | A method of charging an object by rubbing it against another object; the force that one object exerts on another when the two rub against each other. |
| Conduction | A method of charging an object by allowing electrons to flow by direct contact from one object to another object. |
| Induction | A method of charging an object by means of the electric field of another object; the objects have no direct contact. |
| Static Discharge | The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another. |
| Electric Current | The continuous flow of electric charges through a material |
| Electric circuit | A complete, unbroken path through which electric charges can flow. |
| Conductor | A material through which charges can easily flow. |
| Insulator | A material through which charges cannot easily flow |
| Voltage | The difference in electrical potential energy between two places in a circuit. |
| Voltage Source | A device that creates an electrical potential energy difference in an electric circuit; batteries and generators are voltage sources. |
| Resistance | The measurement of how difficult it is for charges to flow through a material. |
| chemical energy | The energy stored in chemical compounds. |
| chemical reaction | A process in which substances change into new substances with different properties. |
| electrochemical cell | A device that transforms chemical energy into electrical energy. |
| electrode | A metal part of an electrochemical cell, which gains or loses electrons. |
| electrolyte | A liquid or paste that conducts electric current. |
| Terminal | A convenient attachment point used to connect a cell or battery to a circuit. |
| Battery | A combination of two or more electrochemical cells in series. |
| Wet Cell | An electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a liquid. |
| Dry Cell | An electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a paste. |
