Electricity and Magnetism

Special class of materials that conduct electric charge better than insulators but not as well as conductors.

• Conductor

• Semiconductor

• Magnet

• Insulator

The push or a pull two magnets exert when they are brought together.

• Magnetic Force

• Electric Charge

• Static Electricity

• Magnetic Field

The area surrounding a magnet where forces can be detected.

• Magnetic Field

• Magnet

• Magnetic Force

• Electric Charge

Material through which charges move freely.

• Semiconductor

• Insulator

• Conductors

The buildup of electric charge on an object.

• Electric Charge

• Electric Current

• Static Electricity

Material through which charges cannot move easily.

• Semiconductor

• Insulator

• Conductor

Describes any materials that attracts iron or objects made of iron.

• Conductor

• Insulator

• Magnet

• Semiconductor

A property that leads to electromagnetic interaction between the particles that make up matter.

• Electric Charge

• Electric Current

• Static Electricity

How do direct currents and alternating currents differ?

• An alternating current carries the electric energy only one per day.

• A direct current carries the flow in the same way, while the alternating change repeatedly shifts the flow in one direction to the other.

• An alternating current carries the flow in the same way, while the direct change repeatedly shifts the flow in one direction to the other.

• They only differ in the types of charges they carry.

What is the are of flow the electric charges called?

• Electric Current

• Electric Force

• Electric Poles

• Electric Field
