A | B |
current electricity | electricity made by negative charges moving in a path |
static electricity | electricity made from friction |
circuit | the path along which negative charges move |
filament | this lights the bulb part of a light bulb |
complete circuit | the charges can move all the way around this path |
incomplete circuit | the charges cannot move all the way around this path |
conductors | objects that allow allow electrons to flow through them easily |
insulators | objects that resist or stop the flow of electrons |
generators | create the flow of electrons in power plants |
parallel circuit | electricity travels along more than one path around the circuit |
series circuit | electricity has only one path to travel through the circuit |
negative charge | the charge of an electron |
positive charge | the charge of a proton |
Thomas Edison | the inventor of the first light bulb |
