Physical Science Electricity

This is the difference in charge between the beginning of a circuit and the end of a circuit (Unit is Volts).

• Current

• Voltage

• Resistance

• Electrical Power

This is an object that will not allow a flow of current through it (it has a very high resistance).

• Insulator

• Conductor

• Flower

• Electrolytes

When an object gets an area that has more positive or negative ions due to being near another charged object.

• Static Electricity

• Charging by Contact

• Charging by Induction

• Ohm's Law

When an object gains an uneven number of either positively or negatively charged particles, or at the very least has an area that has more positive or negative ions.

• Static Electricity

• Charging by Contact

• Charging by Induction

• Ohm's Law

A flow of electricity that moves through several resistors all along the same path.

• Parallel Circuit

• Ohm's Law

• Series Circuit

• Static Electricity

A flow of electricity that moves through several resistors all on separate branching paths.

• Static Electricity

• Parallel Circuit

• Series Circuit

• Ohm's Law

When a charged object touches a neutral object, the flow of charges into the neutral object is described this way.

• Charging by Induction

• Charging by Contact

• Ohm's Law

• Static Electricity

This is the unit for Electrical Power as measured in the United States.

• Voltage Difference

• Calories

• Kilowatt-hours

• Joules

This rule describes the fact that an electrical charge cannot be created or destroyed.

• Law of Conservation of charge

• Ampere's Law

• Volt's Law

• Watt's Law

• Ohm's Law

This is the rate at which electricity is produced, or the rate at which electrical energy is converted into another type of energy (Unit is Watts).

• Current

• Voltage

• Resistance

• Electrical Power
