|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| circuit | a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place
🗑
|
||||
| conductor | a person who directs the performance of an orchestra or choir
🗑
|
||||
| electric current | Electric current is a flow of electric charge through a conductive medium
🗑
|
||||
| electric discharge | Electric discharge describes any flow of electric charge through a gas, liquid or solid
🗑
|
||||
| electric field | An electric field is the region of space surrounding electrically charged particles and time-varying magnetic fields.
🗑
|
||||
| electric force | To understand electric fields and electromagnetic waves, you need to know how charges (such as "negative" electrons and "positive" protons ) cause each other to move.
🗑
|
||||
| electric power | Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred by an electric circuit
🗑
|
||||
| insulator | An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and which therefore does not conduct an electric current, under the influence of an electric field
🗑
|
||||
| ion | An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.
🗑
|
||||
| ohm's law | Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.
🗑
|
||||
| parallel circuit | one connected completely in parallel is known as a parallel circuit.
🗑
|
||||
| resistance | a measure of the degree to which an object opposes an electric current through it
🗑
|
||||
| series circuit | A circuit composed solely of components connected in series is known as a series circuit
🗑
|
||||
| static charge | tatic electricity is an excess of electric charge trapped on the surface of an object
🗑
|
||||
| voltage | is the electric potential difference between two points — or the difference in electric potential energy of a unit test charge transported between two points
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
