| Path for electric charge | circuit |
| Have a single path for current | series circuit |
| Have more than one path for current | parallel circcuit |
| Rate at which electric energy is used | electric power |
| SI unit for electric power | watt |
| Result of too many appliances connected across an outlet | resistance is lowered |
| Result of decreased resistance in a circuit | increases current |
| In a circuit, wires that should be insulated touch | short circuit |
| Position of switch when current flows through circuit | closed |
| Protects a circuit from current overload | fuse or circuit breaker |
| What north pole of magnet attracts | south pole |
| What like magnetic poles do | repel |
| What electric currents produce around them | magnetic field |
| Naturally occurring magnetic rock | lodestone |
| What the poles of magnets are named for | geographic poles they point toward |
| How magnets can be destroyed | heating, dropping, hammering |
| Magnetic field lines that indicate a strong magnetic field | are close together |
| Relationship of magnetic field to distance | Strength of field decreases as distance increases |
