PS Electricity and Magnetism

AB
Static ElectricityThe study of the behavior of electric charges
Law of Conservation of ChargeLaw stating that the total electric charge in an isolated system is constant; electric chard is never created or destroyed.
Electrical ConductorA material through which electric charge can flow easily.
Electrical InsulatorA material through which chard cannot flow easily.
Electric ChargeA property that causes subatomic particles such as protons and electrons to attract or repel one another.
Electric ForceThe attraction or repulsion between electrically charged objects.
Electric FieldA field in a region of space that exerts electric forces on charged particles; a field produced by electric charges or by changing magnetic fields.
VoltagePotential difference
InductionThe transfer of charge without contact between materials.
Electric CurrentA continuous flow of electric charge.
Potential DifferenceVoltage
ResistanceThe opposition to the flow of electric charges in a material.
Ohm's LawThe relationship of voltage
Series CircuitAn electric circuit with only one path through which charge can flow.
Parallel CircuitAn electric circuit with tow or more paths through which charge can flow.
Electrical PowerThe rate at which electrical energy is converted to another form of energy.
MagnetA piece of iron (or an ore
Magnetic ForceThe force a magnetic field exits on a magnet
Magnetic PoleA region on a magnet where the force produced by the magnet is strongest.
Magnetic FieldA field in a region of space that exerts magnetic forces; a field produced by magnets
Magnetic DomainA region that has a large number of atoms with aligned magnetic fields.
