current

• Any phenomena that can be associated with the presence or flow of electric charges.

• A flow of electric charge. Current can also be described as the rate of flow of electric charges. In most cases, current is associated with the flow of electrons

•  A type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by the flow of current. A temporary magnet is created by running a current through a coil of wire that is wrapped in a loop; usually this loop is wound around a piece of metal such as iron or iron compound.

• Imaginary lines used to show direction of force. While most often used in magnetism, they are also used to illustrate electricity and gravity.

electricity

• A type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by the flow of current. A temporary magnet is created by running a current through a coil of wire that is wrapped in a loop; usually this loop is wound around a piece of metal such as iron or iron compound.

• Imaginary lines used to show direction of force. While most often used in magnetism, they are also used to illustrate electricity and gravity.

• Any phenomena that can be associated with the presence or flow of electric charges.

• Relating to or caused by magnetism; having the properties of a magnet, that is, of attracting iron or steel.

electromagnet

• The energy and forces associated with magnetically charged particles, such as those found in bar magnets; due to the Earth having a magnetic field that consistently points in the same direction, magnets have for a long time been used in navigation; magnetism is due to the movement of electrically charged particles, such as electrons.

• Common name for electric potential difference. It is the driving force for electric current traveling from a point A to B; expressed in volts.
