Electrical Energy

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons through a conductor.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electrons to move easily, enabling the flow of electrical current.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electrons to move easily, preventing the flow of electrical current.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electrical current to flow from a power source to a device and back.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores electrical energy and provides power to a circuit.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, caused by the movement of particles.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating sound waves.

Front

What happens to heat energy?

Back

Heat energy always travels from hot objects to cold objects.

Front

What is resistance in a circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electrical current.
