What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow the flow of electric current, typically having a full outer electron shell.

Front

What is a semiconductor?

Back

A material that has properties between conductors and insulators, often used in electronic devices.

Front

What is an ion?

Back

An atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net charge.

Front

What is a direct switch?

Back

A type of switch that connects directly in the path of the current.

Front

What is a low signal switch?

Back

A switch that operates at low voltage or current levels.

Front

What is an input switch?

Back

A switch that allows the user to input a command or signal into a system.

Front

What is an indirect switch?

Back

A switch that controls the current flow indirectly, often through a relay.

Front

What are fuses rated in?

Back

Amps, which indicate the maximum current the fuse can handle before blowing.

Front

What is electricity?

Back

The flow of electrons through a conductor.
