| Static Electricity | Involves charges that are "at rest" and not in motion |
| Current Electricity | Is made up of electrons in Motion |
| Magnetism | The property of a substance ATTRACTING other substances |
| Magnetic Field | The magnetic forces extending from a magnetized object |
| Conductors | Objects that easily allow electric currnet to pas sthrough the. (ex: water, metals) |
| Insulators | Obk=jects that don't easily allow electricity to flow through them |
| Resistors | Electrical charges which SLOW the flow of electrons (ex: dimmer switch, volume control) |
| Positive/Positive charges and Negative/negative charges | Same charges REPEL or push away form each other |
| Positive and Negative charges | OPPOSITE CHARGES will ATTRACT each other |
| Short Circuit | There is a "short cut" for the electrons to take the easiest path back to the electrical source |
| Switch | An electrical component that is used to OPEN and CLOSE a circuit |
| Electron Direction of Battery Flow | Electrons ina battery cell usually flow from the negative to positive terminals |
| Electromagnets | magnets that can be switched on and off by the flow of electricity through them |
| Generator | Machines that MAKE electricity at power plants using MAGNETS |
| Open Circuit | A circuit that is not complete. It doesn't allow for an uninterupted path |
| Closed Circuit | A complete circuit that allows for an uninterupted path for electricity |
| Safety Rules | Rule sto live by according to the dangerous nature of current electricity |
| Atoms | Everything is made up of ATOMS. They are one of the smallest building blocks of life |
| Protons | Positive electrical charges on an atom that exists in the nucleus, along with NEUTRONS that are neutral |
| Electrons | negative electrical charges in an atom thta exist outside the nucleus |
