Question |
Answer |
All the connections including wires, a battery, and a device that uses energy such as a light bulb. In an incomplete circuit, these objects are missing part of the necessary connection and the device that uses energy does not work. |
Incomplete Circuit |
A material which does not allow electricity to go through it. |
Insulator |
A reference to the amount of devices which are in a circuit. More devices in the circuit increase the load. |
Load |
All the connections including wires, a battery, and a device that uses energy such as a light bulb. In a complete circuit, these objects are all connected in a way that the device that uses energy is working. |
Complete Circuit |
A small device that stores energy in a chemical form. |
Battery |
A material that allows electricity to go through it. |
Conductor |
The flow of electricity through a conductor. |
Current |
When there are several paths for the current to follow. |
Parallel circuit |
The area of a conductor through which a current is able to move. |
Pathway |
A battery or other device which provides energy for a circuit. |
Power Source |
When there is only one path for the electricity to follow. |
Series circuit |
An electrical force which occurs as electrons are built up in an object. |
Static Electricity |
