  1. Electricity and Magnetism

  2. Electric charge A basic property of the tiny particles that make up matter

  3. Static Electricity The buildup of electric charges in one place

  4. Electric Field The area around electric charges, where electric forces can act

  5. Electric current A flow of electric charges

  6. Electric Circuit A continuous pathway that can carry an electric current.

  7. Series circuit An electric circuit with only one path for current

  8. Parallel circuit An electric circuit with two or more paths for current

  9. resistance How much a material opposes, or resists, the flow of electric current

  10. Resistor An electrical device used in an electrical circuit for protection or current control.

  11. Short circuit A flaw in a circuit that allows a large current to flow through where it isn’t wanted

  12. conductor Material through which heat and electricity flow easily

  13. attract To pull toward each other

  14. insulator A material that slows the flow of heat and electricity

  15. repel To push away from each other

  16. Power Source A device that supplies electric power to an electrical load.

  17. Electricity Energy created by moving charged particles.
