Electricity

AB
Static Electricitya type of electricity produced by the separation negative and positive charges
Groundingthe process of removing the charge on a charged object
Conductorsa material that allows electric charges to flow easily
Insulatorsa material that does not allow electric charges to flow easily
Inductionthe process of charging an object through the presence of a nearby object
Current ElectricityElectricity produced by moving charges
Electric Currentthe flow of electrons or charges
Electric Cella device that changes chemical energy into electrical energy
Anodethe negative end of an electric cell (where the electrons leave)
Cathodethe positive end of an electric cell (where the electrons return)
AmpereThe unit used to measure current
Potential DifferenceThe difference in potential between the two electrodes of an electric cell
VoltThe unit used to measure potential difference (voltage)
Resistanceopposition to the flow of charges
Ohmthe unit used to measure resistance
Electric Circuitthe path on which the electrons flow
Closed Circuita circuit where current flows in a complete path
Open Circuita circuit where current does not flows in a complete path (caused by a break in the cunductor)
SwitchA device used to open or close a circuit
Series CircuitA circuit that has only one path in which the current can flow
Parallel CircuitA circuit that has more than one path in which the current can flow
