A | B |
A path containing easily movable charges. | Circuit |
The continuous flow of electric charges through a wire or other material. | Electric Current |
A circuit containing a gap which prevents the flow of charges. | Open Circuit |
A circuit which contains no gaps and a constant flow of current. | Closed Circuit |
Materials which allow electrical current to flow through them. | Conductors |
Materials that does not allow current to be easily produced. | Insultators |
A circuit where the components are arranged in a single loop. | Seires Circuit |
Type of circuit where there is more than one path that current can take. | Parallel Circuit |
A path in a circuit which does not contain a buld or resistor to slow down the moving charges. | Shor Circuit |
A device that melts if it gets too hot, avoiding a short circuit. | Fuses |
The unit used o measure the rate of current. | amp |
The force that pushes a current in an electrical circuit. | Voltage |
Units used to measure the amount of force pushing a current. | Volts |
A battery o generator used to maintain voltage. | Voltage Source |
The measure of difficult it is for charges to flow through a material. | Resistance |
Units used to measure the amount of resistance. | ohm |
