| circuit | a loop of conductive material through which electrons flow continously |
| conductor | a substance capable of transmitting electric charge |
| current | movement of electric charge; transferring millions of individual electric charges from atom to atom |
| electric charge | the quantity of unbalanced electricity in an object; charge is either positive or negative and due to excess or loss of electrons |
| electric potential | the difference in electric charge between 2 points in a circuits, called volts |
| electricity | the flow of electric charge |
| field | in physics - this means the region where a force is exerted; examples are electric and magnetic fields |
| insulator | in electricity, a substance capable of inhibiting the transmission of an electric charge |
| magnetism | having a magnetic field; and each pole has the ability fo attract an opposite pole and repel a like-pole |
| resistance | the quality of a substance that hinders the flow of electrons through it |
| static electricity | electric charges are isolated and motionless and are not being transmitted by a conductor |
