Electricity Vocabulary

What are materials with tightly bound electrons that don't transmit electrical charge called?

• Conductors

• Insulators

• Semiconductors

• Superconductors

What is the term for the potential difference between two points in a circuit?

• Current

• Resistance

• Voltage

• Capacitance

What is the unit of electrical resistance?

• Volt

• Ampere

• Ohm

• Watt

What is the term for the slowing down and reduction of electrons flowing through a circuit?

• Voltage

• Current

• Resistance

• Capacitance

What is the formula for calculating electrical power?

• Power (P) = Voltage (V) + Current (I)

• Power (P) = Voltage (V) x Current (I)

• Power (P) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)

• Power (P) = Current (I) - Voltage (V)

What is static electricity?

• The flow of electric current through a conductor.

• The accumulation of electric charge on the surface of objects.

• The process of generating electricity through chemical reactions.

• The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves.

• Electromagnetic energy

What is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit?

• Ohm's Law (V = IR)

• Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)

• Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

• Newton's Second Law of Motion
