  • It is the standard unit of measure of electric current.
    Amp or Ampere
  •  15
  • An electric current that reverses direction on a periodic basis. It is widely used to transport power on power lines
    Alternating current (AC)
  •  15
  • A device that stores and produces electricity from chemical cells.
    Battery
  •  15
  • A basic electrical component that stores electric charge. They are made from two electrical conductors separated by an insulator.
    Capacitor
  •  15
  • It's a material that allows the free flow of electric charge.
    Conductor
  •  15
  • A law of physics that describes the electrostatic interaction between charged particles.
    Coulomb's law
  •  15
  • An electronic component that only allows current flow in one direction
    Diode
  •  15
  • A type of current that only flows in one direction (unlike AC which periodically reverses direction).
    Direct current (DC)
  •  15
  • This is a basic characteristic of matter that is based on the balance of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). The standard unit is the coulomb
    Electric charge
  •  15
  • It's a collection of electronic components connected by a conductive wire that allows for electric current to flow.
    Electric circuit
  •  15
  • It is the flow of electric charge through a material. The standard unit is the ampere.
    Electric current
  •  15
  • It is the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit. It is also called the voltage.
    Electric potential
  •  15
  • The interaction between magnetic fields and electric currents.
    Electromagnetism
  •  15
  • A basic subatomic particle found in all atoms, they carry electricity by flowing from one atom to the next in a conductive material.
    Electrons
  •  15
  • A basic passive electrical component that resists changes in electric current. They are generally made by winding or coiling a wire, sometimes around a magnetic core. The unit of measure is the Henry.
    Inductors
  •  15
  • A material in which an electronic charge does not flow freely and does not conduct the flow of electric current
    Insulator
  •  15
