🗑
insulator   a material in which electrons are not able to move easily  
🗑
charging by contact   the process of transferring charge by touching or rubbing  
🗑
charging by induction   the rearrangement of electrons on a neutral object caused by a nearby charged object  
🗑
electric current   the net movement of electric charges in a single direction  
🗑
voltage difference   related to the force that causes electric charges to flow  
🗑
circuit   a closed path that electric current follows  
🗑
resistance   the tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons, changing electrical energy into thermal energy and light  
🗑
Ohm's law   the current in a circuit equals the voltage difference divided by the resistance  
🗑
series circuit   the current has only one loop to flow through  
🗑
parallel circuit   two or more branches for current to move through
