This occurs when electrical charges build up on the surface of an object

• Current

• Current Electricity

• Static Electricity

• Styrofoam

The flow of electrons around a circuit

• Static

• Static Electricity

• Flow

• Current Electricity

a continuous, unbroken path through which electricity flows

• circuit

• circus

• conductor

• insulator

a material that allows electricity to flow through it

• insulator

• conductor

• circuit

• electron

When electricity takes an unexpected path a ___________ happens

• circuit closes

• switch

• break

• short circuit

a conductor that can be moved to either bridge or not bridge

• circuit

• switch

• bridge

• electricity

this does not allow electricity to flow through it easily

• insulator

• conductor

• resistor

• closed circuit

reduces the flow of electrons in a circuit

• resistor

• insulator

• conductor

• short circuit

has only only one path, or one circuit, for electricity to travel

• parallel series

• unbroken circuit

• series circuit

• circuits

has multiple paths for electricity to travel or flow

• series circuit

• circus

• parallel circuit

• paralell lines
