Energy and Electricity Concepts

Resistor

• A device used to control the flow of electricity

• A component that stores electrical energy

• A device that converts electrical energy into light

• A tool for measuring electrical resistance

Heat

• The transfer of thermal energy from one object to another

• The process of cooling an object down

• The measurement of temperature in an object

• The ability of an object to conduct electricity

Radiation

• Energy that travels as a wave

• A type of particle

• A form of solid matter

• A chemical reaction

Generate

• To make or produce

• To destroy or eliminate

• To confuse or mislead

• To observe or analyze

Wave

• A disturbance that travels in a pattern and carries energy

• A solid object that does not move

• A type of particle that cannot travel

• A stationary force that does not change

Sound

• Energy that can be heard

• A type of light

• A form of heat

• A kind of pressure wave

Source

• A place where something is stored

• The point that something comes from

• A type of resource

• A method of production

Conductor

• A material that energy can easily flow through

• A substance that resists the flow of energy

• A type of energy storage device

• A material that reflects energy

Electric charge

• A property that causes matter to have a force when it is placed near other charged particles

• A measure of the amount of matter in an object

• A type of energy that can be converted into heat

• A characteristic of materials that determines their ability to conduct electricity

Light

• Form of energy that we can see

• A type of sound wave

• A form of matter

• A color spectrum
