Unit 9 Study Guide Review

Properties associated with having a magnetic field, particularly the tendency of each pole to attract an opposite pole and repel a like pole

• current

• resistance

• magnetism

• electricity

The quality of a substance that hinders the flow of electrons through it; the ratio of the voltage to the electric current.

• resistance

• magnetism

• electric potential

• current

A loop of conductive material through which electrons flow continuously.

• current

• electricity

• circuit

• field

The quantity of unbalanced electricity in an object; a charge is either positive or negative and can be understood as an excess or deficiency of electrons.
