See if you know these basic concepts.

AB
opposite chargesattract
like chargesrepel
positive chargeprotons in nucleus
negative chargeelectrons
circuitclosed loop that conducts electricity
inductioncharged object near neutral object
series circuitonly one path for current
static electricityextra charges on an object
parallel circuitmore than one path for current
insulatorprevents flow of electrons
conductorpermits flow of electrons
resistanceopposes flow of electrons
Ohm's lawcurrent = voltage/resistance
wattspower units
voltage differencepressure that moves charges
Law of conservation of chargecharges are not created or destroyed
batteryprovides voltage difference
fusestops current when it melts
open circuitbroken circuit, does not work
lightningenormous static discharge in nature
ampsunit for current
galvanometermeasures electric current with a magnet
electric motoruses magnet and electrons to turn something
alternating currentelectrons change direction
direct currentelectrons go in one direction
current electricitymoving electrons
wiremetal carrying electrons
photo celllight moves electrons
