Current Electricity
✅
Conductor- A material that allows electrons to pass freely from atom to
atom. Metals are examples of this.
✅
Insulator- A material that does not allow electrons to pass freely through
it. Examples are glass, wood, plastic, and rubber.
✅A complete pathway for charges to flow
Circuit-
Series-✅A circuit with only one path for electrons to take.
Parallel-✅A circuit with multiple paths for electrons to take.
Opposition-✅When two negative or two positive terminals of a battery are
touching. Batteries cancel each other out. No electrons flow from batteries.
✅
Short Circuit- An unwanted, low resistance connection between two
points in a circuit where nothing is being powered. Results in excess heat
being released.
✅Electricity that is able to flow continuously.
Current Electricity-
✅How hard it is for the electrons to flow through the circuit.
Resistance-
Amperage-✅The number of electrons flowing past a given point in a
second.
Voltage-✅The amount of force pushing an electric current.
Path of Least Resistance-✅When there are multiple paths for electrons to
take they will flow on the easiest path.
