  1. 7th Grade Career Exploration Module Career Focus: Electrical Engineer Vocabulary

  2. Resistor • a device that is used to control the flow of electricity in an electric circuit

  3. Impedance • in an electrical circuit, the apparent opposition to the flow of an alternating current that is comparable to the actual electrical resistance to a direct current

  4. Capacitor • a device that is used to store electrical energy

  5. Transistor • a small device that is used to control the flow of electricity in radios, computers, etc.

  6. Circuit • the complete path that an electric current travels along

  7. Ohm • a unit for measuring electrical resistance

  8. Farad • the standard unit of measurement for capacitors (capacitance)

  9. Ampere • a unit for measuring the rate at which electric current flows - also called an amp

  10. Watt • a unit for measuring electrical power

  11. Oscilloscope • a test instrument that is used to measure and analyze electronic signals (waves and pulses) displayed on its screen

  12. EM (electromagnetism) • a magnetic field that is produced by a current of electricity

  13. Ground • a wire or metal object that makes an electrical connection with the earth – usually singular
