| attracted | having been pulled or drawn |
| circuit | a closed-loop path of conduction through which an electric current flows |
| conduct | to transmit electricity |
| closed circuit | a complete path for electric current |
| conductor | material through which a current passes |
| current electricity | the flow of electrons through a material |
| discharge | a loss of negative or positive electric charge |
| electric charge | have too many or too few electrons |
| electron | a negatively-charged particle that moves around the nucleus of an atom |
