| Electromagnetic induction | The process of creating an electric current in a wire by passing it through a magnetic field. |
| Electric force | The push or pull by moving electrons. |
| Electromagnetism | The changing of electric fields that cause a magnetic field. |
| Magnetic force | The draw of opposite charges towards the different ends of a magnet. |
| Magnetic pole | The two ends of a piece of magnetic material where the forces are the strongest. |
| Volt | The unit of measurement for electrical potential energy. |
| Magnetic field | A region where a magnetic force can be detected. |
| Electrical potential energy | The ability to move an electric charge from one point to another. |
| Potential difference | The difference in electrical potential energy between two different points. |
| Electric current | The rate of flow of electrons in a circuit. |
| Solenoid | A coil wire with an electric current in it. |
| Ampere | The unit of measurement for current. |
| Electromagnet | A strong, temporary magnet made by placing an iron core into a wire coil and passing an electric current through the coil. |
| Ohm’s Law | States that potential difference equals electric current times resistance (V=IR). |
| Voltage | A difference in electrical potential. |
| Ohm | The unit of measurement for resistance. |
| Resistance | The opposition to the flow of electrons. |

| Insulator | A material that does not allow heat or electrons to move through it easily. |
| Electricity | The flow of electrons. |
| Semiconductor | An element or compound that conducts electricity under certain conditions. |
| Faraday’s Law | States the relationship between a time-varying magnetic field and an induced electric field. |
| Superconductor | An extremely cooled substance that has no electrical resistance and a current can flow indefinitely. |
| Electric field | A region surrounding a charged object that exerts a force on anything nearby with an electric charge. |
| Conductor | A material that allows electrons to move easily through it. |
