Circuit
The path of an electrical current
Circuit Diagram
A drawing of an electrical circuit that shows how each part is connected.
Conductor
A material that allows electricity to pass through it.
Current
The rate of flow of electrons.
Measured in Amps
Current Electricity
The movement of electrons through a conductor in a regular flow
Electricity
A form of energy characterised by the movement of charged particles or electrons.
Insulator
A material that does not allow electricity to pass through it.
Static Discharge
A jolt of eletricity that occurs when two objects of different charges interact to balance out their charge.
Static Electricity
The build-up and release of charged particles on a surface to another.
Van De Graaff Generator
A machine that produces large amounts of static electricity using a large spinning rubber band and a metal dome.
Voltage
The force that causes electrons to flow. It is the difference in energy between two points of a circuit.
Measured in Volts
