| electric current | a continuous flow of electric charges |
| electric circuit | pathway an electric current flows through |
| conductors | materials that negatively charged particles can move through easily |
| insulators | materials that electric charges do not flow through |
| parallel circuit | parts are connected so that the current passes along more than one current (stays lit if 1 is out) |
| series circuit | parts are connected so that the current passes through each part along a single pathway (one out = all out) |
| static electricity | electric charge that builds up on a material |
| electric charge | units of electricity |
| electric cell | a device that turns chemical energy into electric energy |
| magnet | an object that attracts certain metals, mainly iron |
| magnetic poles | 2 areas on a magnet in which the magnetic force is the greatest |
| attract | unlike poles |
| repel | like poles |
