A | B |
Conduction | occurs when electrons are transferred from one object to another by direct contact |
Induction | occurs when charges in an uncharged object are rearanged without direct contact with a charged object |
Conductor | A material in which charges can move easily |
Static electricity | the buildup of electric charges on an object |
Electric discharge | the loss of static electricity as charges move off an object |
Insulator | a material in which charges cannot easily move |
voltage | The difference in energy per unit charge as chare moves between 2 points in path of a current |
resistance | The opposition to the flow of electric charge |
circut | a complete, closed path through which electric charges flow |
Series circuit | A circuit in which all parts are connected in a single loop |
Current | the rate at which charge passes a given point |
Parallel circuit | A circuit in which different loads are located on separate branches |
