Electrical Energy in Circuits

A path that electricity travels on

A place where batteries are stored

A switch that turns devices on and off

A metal part that holds a light bulb

It has no breaks, so current flows.

The device connected is ON.

It is an electrical path with a switch open, stopping flow.

It is the same idea as a continuous closed path.

A path that electricity travels on

An electrical circuit with no breaks in which current flows; device is ON

A continuous loop that allows electricity to flow and power devices; also known as a closed circuit

It has at least one break so the switch can stop current.

It has no breaks, allowing electric current to flow.

It uses two batteries so the bulb is brighter.

It contains only one wire and no components.

A path with gaps where electricity stops.

A complete, unbroken path through which electricity can flow.

A path made only of plastic parts.

A path that works only when the battery is removed.

Copper wires that let energy pass easily

Rubber tubing that blocks energy flow

Steel nails that allow electricity to move

Dry wood that prevents energy from passing

The buildup of charge on an object that stays still

The flow of electrons through a material, like a wire, that allows electricity to flow

Energy stored in a battery without moving

The brightness of a light bulb when connected to a circuit

The movement of charged particles

A form of energy created from the flow of charged particles through a conductor

The force that holds atoms together

A device that uses electrical energy to do work.

A form of energy created from the flow of charged particles through a conductor

The flow of electrons through a material, like a wire

The movement of charged particles

A part that blocks electricity when it gets too high

A device that provides the electricity to make things work, such as batteries or generators

A wire that connects the positive and negative terminals

A switch that starts and stops the bulb
