a region around a charged object where the object's electric force is exerted on other charged objects is an electric

in static electricity charges

Charges can redistribute themselves by friction conduction polarization or

charges that are different repel each other

an electric field gets stronger the closer it is to the charge

Charges do not transfer between objects in polarization or CONDUCTION

Lighting is an example of static discharge

ELECTRIC CURRENT is the build-up of charges on an object

Most objects have some overall charge

The unit for the rate of current is the

all electrical devices contain electric

potential electric current can be converted into

which of the following does not determine the resistance of a wire

The amount of charge that passes through a wire in a given period of time is the rate of electric

The electrons in conductors move about ______freely than the electrons in insulators

Charges flow through wires because of differences in electric ______

____is the measure of how difficult it is for charges to flow through an object

is the difference in electric potential energy per charge between two points in a circuit

Current flow is affected by the ____of an object (such as the lengths of a wire) that the charge flows through

when more branches are added to a parallel circuit

batteries and power plants are examples of

The path of current in a circuit is completed by

resistance in a circuit is equal to voltage divided by

Electrical energy in a circuit gets TRANSFORMED into other forms of energy such as mechanical energy

ISSAC NEWTON formulated ohms law

Opening a switch breaks an electric device

all electric circuits have the SAME basic features

Energy is always LOST in a circuit

Most conductors have an INCONSTANT resistance regardless of the applied voltage

The power of a light bulb or applieance depends on

The unit of power is the

as electric charges for the months

You can calculate current by MULT power by voltage

Electric power is usually measured in WATTS

The equation energy + power x CURRENT can be used to find the amount of energy used by an appliance

A short circuit allows current to take the path of greatest

Fuses and circuit GAUGES prevent circuits in a home from overheating

A circuit connected to earth with a three prong plug is RESISTANT
