Term | Definition |
Circuit | Closed conducting loop in which electric current can flow continually |
Conductor | Material in which electrons can move easily |
Electric Current | The flow of electric charge measured in amperes |
Electric Discharge | Rapid movement of excess charge from one place to another |
electric field | surrounds every electric charge and exerts force on other electric charges. |
electric force | attractive or repulsive force exerted by all charged objects on each other |
electric power | rate at which electrical energy s converted into other forms of energy |
ion | atom that is positively or negatively charged because it has gained or lost one or more electrons |
insulator | material in which electrons cannot move easily |
ohm's law | states that the current in a circuit equals the voltage divided by the resistance in the circuit |
