5.4 Lesson 2: Electricity Vocabulary Review

Magnetic fields of magnets will push each other away.

• repel
• attract
• pole
• magnetism

When like poles of magnets are pushed together.

• repel
• attract
• pol
• electromagnet

The transfer of negatively charged particles between materials.

• radiant enrgy
• thermal energy
• static electricity
• mechanical energy

When the electric current has multiple paths to flow through.

• circuit
• parallel circuit
• series circuit
• radiant energy

A force that can attract (pull closer) or repel (push away) objects that have a magnetic material like iron inside.

• magnetism
• closed circuit
• ocean current

Is a point at either end of a magnetic field where the magnetic force is concentrated and strongest.

• magnetic field
• pole

A magnet made by wrapping a wire around an iron core. A current flowing through the wire creates a magnetic field.

• electromagnet
• magnet
• parallel circuit

An invisible field that exerts a magnetic force on certain objects.

• closed circuit
• magnetic field
• pole
• electromagnet

Energy in motion

• potential energy
• thermal energy
• kinetic energy
• radiant energy

Stored energy

• kinetic energy
