Electricity Vocabulary

A continuous flow of negatively charged particles/electrons through a wire

• Electrons

• Current

• Circuit

• Fuse

A material that allows electric energy to flow through it easily

• Conductor
• Insulator
• Wire
• Circuit

A type of circuit where all parts of the circuit are connected in a single loop and there is only one path for electrons to flow

• Open

• Closed

• Parallel

• Series

The pathway taken by an electric current

• Current
• Series
• Circuit
• Parallel

This material keeps electricity from passing through it easily

• Insulator

• Resistor

• Wire

Metal is an example of a conductor

• True
• False

A circuit in which electricity can follow two or more paths
