|---|
| Nucleu | - the center part of the atom, formed by neutrons and protons |
| Protons | particles have a positive charge, and along with neutrons, form the nucleus. |
| Neutrons | particles have no charge (neutral), and along with protons, form the nucleus. |
| Electrons | particles have a negative charge, and orbit the nucleus |
| Insulators | - high resistance to electrical current, plastic, glass, air, wood, paper, rubber. |
| Conductors | conducts the flow of electrons, Copper, silver, gold. |
| Semiconductors | control the flow of electrons, carbon, silicon. |
| Voltage (V) | electrical force or pressure that occurs when electrons and protons are separated |
| Current (I) | the measurement of electron flow in an electrical circuit |
| AMPERE (amp) | unit of measurement |
| Resistance (R)— | amount of opposition to current |
| OHM () | unit of measurement |
| (AC). | alternating current |
| (DC), | direct current |
