ELectricity
destINY
Battery
an electronic device that stores electrical power energy
Conduction
the transfer of heat energy from particle to particle in a substance or between multiple substances through contact of atoms
Conductor
a material that electric current can easily move through, such as metals
Convection
motion in a gas (as air) or a liquid in which the warmer portions rise and the colder portions sink
Current
the amount of electric charge flowing past a specified point per unit of time. The unit for current is ampere (A).
Electricity
the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a secondary energy source which means that we get it from the conversion of other sources of energy.
Electron
a negatively charged particle located on the outside of the nucleus of an atom
Energy (E=Pt)
the capacity to do work
Generator
a device that produces electricity
Heat
energy transferred from one place to another by a temperature difference
Insulator
a material that electric current cannot move easily through such as air, plastic, glass, and rubber.
Ohm’s Law
electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. I=V/R
