A | B |
resistance | reduces the flow of electricity |
parallel circuit | Two or more paths for electricity to flow |
series circuit | When there is only one path for electricity to flow |
Ohm's Law | voltage is equal to resistance times current |
amperes | the unit of measurement for current |
voltage | the force that is moving the electrons |
volts | the unit of measurement for voltage |
circuit | the path an electric current follows |
proton | a positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom |
static electricity | occurs when the charge does not move |
electricity | the movement of charged atomic particles called electrons |
battery | chemical device designed to force electrons to move |
conductors | a material that provides a path for electrons to flow |
insulator | a material that resists the movement of electrons |
electrons | a negatively charged particle of an atom |
current | the rate of flowing electrons |
