Electricity and Circuits

Front

Current

Back

The net transfer of electric charge (electron movement along a path) per unit of time.

Front

Electrical Energy

Back

Energy caused by the movement of electrons.

Front

Electricity

Back

The flow of electrical power or charge.

Front

Electromagnetic Induction

Back

The production of electricity in conductors with the use of magnets.

Front

Induction

Back

The production of an electric or magnetic state by the proximity (without contact) of an electrified or magnetized body.

Front

Ampere

Back

The unit of electric current in the meter-kilogram-second system of units. Referred to as amp and symbolized as A.

Front

Ohm

Back

The unit of electric resistance in the meter-kilogram-second system of units. Symbolized as Ω.

Front

Ohm’s Law

Back

States that the direct current flowing in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit.

Front

Parallel Circuit

Back

A closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then returns via a common path to complete the circuit.

Front

Resistance

Back

The opposition that a device or material offers to the flow of direct current.
