attract circuit when two objects are pulled together
TRANSCRIPT
attract
circuit
When two objects are pulled together
a complete path that electricity can move through
closed circuit
The circuit is closed. Electrons flow through the wire and produce light.
conductor
a clear and complete path that electricity can flow through
a material through which heat or electricity flows easily
current electricity
discharge
a moving electrical charge
when a buildup of electrical charge empties into something
electrical charge
+ -
a battery that changes chemical energy into electrical energy
the positive or negative property of particles
energy caused by the flow of electrical charges
a temporary magnet created when current flows through wire
wrapped in coils
force
grounded
a push or pull by one object to move another
When an electrical charge flows into the ground, or surface of the
earth
insulator
lightning
a material through which heat or electricity does not flow very well
A discharge of static electricity from a thundercloud
magnetic field
open circuit
a region of magnetic force around a magnet
a broken or incomplete path that electricity cannot flow through
parallel circuit
resistor
A circuit in which each electrical device is independently
connected to the electrical source
Property of a material through which electricity has difficulty
flowing
series circuit
static electricity
a circuit in which the current must flow through each electrical device
in order to complete the circuit
a build up of an electrical charge
switch
a device that can open or close an electrical circuit
