Electrical Concepts Flashcards

Front

Allows chemical energy to be transformed into electricity.

Back

BATTERY

Front

A closed network of an electrical current that loops.

Back

CIRCUIT

Front

Materials that allow the flow of electricity.

Back

CONDUCTOR

Front

The movement of electrically charged particles in the form of a wire. This flow is measured in amperes (amps).

Back

CURRENT

Front

The movement (flow) of electrons and protons from one place to another.

Back

ELECTRICITY

Front

A particle with a negative charge of electricity.

Back

ELECTRON

Front

Occurs when the electrical particles are not moving. This is also called static electricity.

Back

ELECTROSTATIC

Front

Work from various sources (electrical, chemical, kinetic, etc.). In electrical energy, it is produced from the movement of the electrically charged particles (protons, electrons).

Back

ENERGY

Front

A particle with a positive charge of electricity.

Back

PROTON

Front

A component used to limit the amount of electricity flowing in a circuit by creating resistance.
