Electricity and Magnetism

a flow of electricity

• current
• circuit
• filament

a complete path made for an electronic current

• current
• circuit
• conductor

a component that supplies energy to move electrons through a circuit, such as a D-cell battery

• electricity source
• energy reserver
• series circuit

a component that uses electricity to make something happen, such as a bulb or motor

• electricity source
• energy reserver
• series circuit

an incomplete path through which electricity cannot flow

• series circuit
• closed circuit
• open circuit

the part of an incandescent light bulb that heats and produces light

• filament
