| draw a conclusion | use what you now to explain what happens |
| neutral | having no overall electric charge |
| current | the flow of electric charge through a conductor |
| voltage | a measure of electric force |
| electrical charge | positive and negative are the two types of this property of matter |
| discharge | walking across carpet and touching something metal can cause this movement of electricity |
| conductors | copper and other metals are good examples of these materials |
| insulators | rubber, plastic, and glass are good examples of these materials |
| static electricity | when clothes stick together after coming out of the dryer they might have this buildup |
| lightning | a discharge of static electricity inside a storm cloud |
| circuit | the unbroken path along which an electric current flows |
| closed circuit | Status of a circuit that is complete and unbroken with flowing electric current |
| open circuit | status of a circuit that has a breaks or openings in which electric current cannot flow |
| series circuit | A circuit in which all electrical charges flow in the same direction and along the same path |
| switch | opens and closes the circuit |
| resistance | teh ability of a substance to slow down electric current |
| parallel circuit | a circuit in which the electric current flows two or more paths that are called branches |
| transformer | used to change the voltage of electric current |
| circuit breaker | stops the flow of charges by switching off the current if it gets too high |
| fuse | melts if tehelectric current in teh circuit gets too high |
