Copy of Electrical Energy and Circuits

Name

A path through which charged electrons can flow and be used to do work

• Circuit
• Insulator
• Conductor
• Electric Current
• Parallel Circuit

The path that electricity can flow through is broken or incomplete and any device in the circuit will not work

• Open Circuit
• Insulator
• Conductor
• Electric Current
• Parallel Circuit

A device that uses electrical energy in order to do work

• Electrical Device
• Insulator
• Conductor
• Electric Current
• Parallel Circuit

This circuit has only one path for electricity to flow through; if one device breaks or is removed, the entire circuit stops working

• Series Circuit
• Insulator
• Conductor
• Electric Current
• Parallel Circuit

This circuit has multiple paths for electricity to flow through; if one device breaks or is removed, the rest of the circuit keeps working

• Parallel Circuit
• Insulator
• Conductor
• Electric Current
• Circuit

A medium (material) that slows down or stops thermal or electrical energy as it passes through

• Insulator
• Conductor
• Electric Current
• Parallel Circuit
• Circuit

A medium (material) that allows thermal or electrical energy to pass through it easily

• Conductor
• Insulator
• Electric Current
• Parallel Circuit
• Circuit

A measure of the quantity of charged particles flowing through a device

• Electric Current
• Insulator
• Conductor
• Parallel Circuit
• Circuit

This device can control the flow of electricity in a circuit; it is used to turn electrical devices on and off

• Switch
• Insulator
• Conductor
• Electric Current
• Parallel Circuit
