| static electricity | transfer of electric charges from one object to another |
| electric current | flow of electric charge/elecrons moving through wire |
| circuit | the path for an electric current |
| conductor | currents can pass through easily |
| insulator | currents cannot pass through these |
| series circuit | circuit has only one path for the current to pass through |
| parallel circuit | has more than one path for current to pass through |
| magnet | object that attracts certain materials |
| magnetic poles | a magnet has two of these |
| magnetic field | the magnetic force exerted in the region around a magnet |
| opposite | poles attract |
| like | poles repel |
| Earth | has a magnetic field making it a giant bar magnet |
| electromagnet | wire (with electric current) is wrapped around a core to produce a temporary magnet |
