Energy, Electricity, and Circuits

What is a conductor?

• A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

• A substance that prevents electricity from flowing.

• A type of electrical device that stores energy.

• A material that can only conduct heat.

What is kinetic energy?

• Energy that an object has due to its motion.

• Energy stored in an object due to its position.

• Energy that is transferred through heat.

• Energy that an object has due to its temperature.
