attract

circuit

When two objects are pulled together

a complete path that electricity can move through

closed circuit

The circuit is closed. Electrons flow through the wire and produce light.

conductor

a clear and complete path that electricity can flow through

a material through which heat or electricity flows easily

current electricity

discharge

a moving electrical charge

when a buildup of electrical charge empties into something

electrical charge

+ -

a battery that changes chemical energy into electrical energy

the positive or negative property of particles

energy caused by the flow of electrical charges

a temporary magnet created when current flows through wire

wrapped in coils

force

grounded

a push or pull by one object to move another

When an electrical charge flows into the ground, or surface of the

earth

insulator

lightning

a material through which heat or electricity does not flow very well

A discharge of static electricity from a thundercloud

magnetic field

open circuit

a region of magnetic force around a magnet

a broken or incomplete path that electricity cannot flow through

parallel circuit

resistor

A circuit in which each electrical device is independently

connected to the electrical source

Property of a material through which electricity has difficulty

flowing

series circuit

static electricity

a circuit in which the current must flow through each electrical device

in order to complete the circuit

a build up of an electrical charge

switch

a device that can open or close an electrical circuit
