Electricity and Magnetism (copy)

A form of energy and a good way to transport electricity from one place to another. Caused by moving charged particles (flow of electrons).

Are materials that allow the flow of charge to flow through them

Are materials that do not allow the flow of charge to flow through them

A stationary electric charge, caused by produced most commonly by fiction.

A flow of charged particles

A path for electric charge to flow along

A measure of the flow of electrons at a point in a circuit

Electric charge can not be created or destroyed, the amount of charge remains the same. When an object changes its charge it doesn’t destroy it but transfers it.

Is a measure of the difference in electrical potential energy between two points in a circuit.

A safety device that interrupts the flow of current to a circuit

A switch that turns off contact of the wires is broken so no more current can flow through

Is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other.

The area around a magnet in which the effect of magnetism is felt.

A material that produces magnetic field

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.
