Chapter Review: Electricity

The accumulation of excess electric charge on an object is called

• Static electricity 
• Electric discharge
• Resistance
• Circuit 

A material in which electrons are able to move easily

• Circuit
• Insulator 
• Resistance 
• Conductor 

A material in which electrons are not able to move easily 

• Circuit 
• Insulator 
• Resistance 
• Conductor

This is related to the force that causes electric charges to flow

• Voltage 
• Current
• Resistance
• Circuit 

A closed path that electric current follows 

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance 
• Circuit

The tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons, changing electrical energy into thermal energy and light.

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance
• Circuit 

According to this law, the current in a circuit equals the voltage difference divided by the resistance. 

• Law of Conservation of Energy 
• Ohm's Law 
• Law of Conservation of Charges
• Newton's First Law 

The current has only has one loop to flow through in this circuit. 

• Series Circuit 
• Parallel Circuit 

This circuit contains two or more branches for current to move through. 

• Series Circuit 
• Parallel Circuit 

An ampere is unit of

• temperature
• electric current
• length
• magnetic force
