Magnetism and Electricity

A measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current into heat energy

• resistance
• magnetism
• generator

a material through which electric current passes easily

• insulator
• magnet
• conductor

a material through which electric current does not pass easily

• magnetism
• conductor
• insulator

a circuit that connects several objects one after another so that the current flows in a single path

• parallel circuit
• series circuit
• generator

a circuit that connects several objects in a way that the current for each object has its own path

• magnetic field
• series circuit
• parallel circuit

anything that pull iron, steel, and certain other metals to it

• magnet

• magnetic field
• magetism
• electromagnet

the space around a magnet where magnetism acts

• electromagnet
