| electric charge that builds up on an insulated object such as a capacitor or a thundercloud | Static Electricity |
| To exert a force that tends to push something away | Repel |
| produced by or relating to static electricity | Electrostatic |
| the rate of flow of an electric charge through a conductor | Current |
| One amp of current is the number of electgrons, measured in coulombs. that passes a given point in a curcuit in one second. There are 6.24 x 10-18 electrons in one coulomb | Ampere ( AmP) |
| an electrical component, used to store a charge temporarily, consisting of two conducting surfaces separated by a nonconductor dielectric. Capacitance is measured in farads. | Capacitor |
| The electrical pressure that exists between two points | Volt |
| the opposition that a curcuit, component, or substance presents to the flow of electricity | Resistance |
| current= voltage/ resistance I=V/R | Ohms Law |
| a set of two or more electronic components through which current flows in sequence | Series Circuit |
| all components are connected across each other forming exactly two sets of electrically common points | Parallel Circuit |
| amount of electricity that passes in one hour through a conductor with a current of one ampere. Amp houre= amps X length of supply | Ampere Hour |
