Glossary:

 Conductors: are anything which electricity easily flows through. Examples of

electrical conductors are copper, aluminum, and water.
 Battery: A single or group of connected electric cells that produces a direct electric
current (DC).
 Circuit: The path followed by a flow of electric current.
 Electron: A negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. The flow
of electrons produces electricity.
 Magnetic Field: An identified force that exists around a magnet or electrical field.
 Ohms: The unit of measurement of the electrical resistance of a material.
 Switch: An electrical component used for connecting, breaking, or changing the
connections in an electrical circuit.
 Volt: The unit of measurement of force used to produce an electric current.
 Current: The movement or flow of electricity through a conductor.
 Alternating current (AC): Electric current that reverses directions at regular
intervals.
 Direct Current (DC): Electric current flowing in only one direction
 Capacitance: The ability of a component to store an electrical charge.
 Charge: Electricity produced by a surplus or a shortage of electrons in an object.
 Insulator: Any material that will not allow electricity to easily flow through.
 Resistance: The resistance to flow of electricity through a material.
 Amps: Measurement of current flow through a conductor.
 Battery: A single or group of connected electric cells that produces a direct electric
current (DC).
