Electric FieldsThe electric force per unit charge and the direction of the field is taken to directon of force it would exert on a positive charge.
Magnetic FieldsAreas where an object exhibits magnetic influence, such as attract or repel another magnetic object.
Magnetic DomainThe region where magnetic fields of atoms are aligned and grouped together.
Magnetic PolesPoints where magnetic field lines begin and end.
Direct CurrentThe charge of a current flows in one direction.
Alternating CurrentFlow of electric charge periodically changes direction.
ElectromagnetType of magnet that the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.
Electromagnetic InductionProcess of a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field causing production of a voltage across theh conductor.
TransformersA device that changes or transforms voltage from one value to another either bigger or smaller using principle of electromagnetic induction.
CommutatorA device that changes the direction of a current.
Equivalent ResistanceIdeal capacitors and inductors in series with a resistance.
VoltageEither direct or alternating; difference in charge between two points.
ResistanceA material's tendency to resist the current.
CurrentThe rate at which charge flows through a circuit.
Parallel CircuitHas more than one resistor and has multiple pathways through which charges can flow; charges will continue to flow even if one item in circuit is broken.
Series CircuitTwo components that share the same node and current.
