| Static electricity | the imbalance of positive or negative charges between objects |
| Electric current | the flow of an electric charge through a material |
| Resistance | a quality of an object which means that electric current cannot flow easily through it |
| series circuit | a simple circular path in which an electric current flows only one way through each part of that circuit |
| parallel circuit | two or more paths in which an electric charge can flow |
| magnetism | the pulling or pushing force that exists around a magnet due to the arrangement of electrons |
| magnetic field | The invisible force around a magnet when a magnetic object moves into the field. The force is strongest at the magnet’s poles or ends. |
| Electromagnet | a coil of wire that creates a magnetic field when current moves through the wire |
