Electricity Vocabulary

3. A measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
5. A closed loop through which electric current can flow.
6. The rate at which electrical energy is transferred or converted by an electric circuit.
8. The SI unit used to measure electrical resistance.
9. The SI unit used to measure electrical potential difference or voltage.
10. A fundamental property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.
13. The difference in electric potential between two points, which drives the flow of current.
15. A component designed to store electrical energy in an electric field.
17. The flow of electric charge through a conductor.
18. An electric current that periodically reverses its direction of flow.
20. A measure of the electrical potential energy difference that pushes current through a circuit.

1. A circuit in which all components are connected in a single line, providing only one path for the current.
2. An electric current that flows in only one constant direction.
4. A simplified representation of an electrical circuit using standard symbols.
7. A circuit where components are connected across the same two points, providing multiple paths for the current.
11. The base SI unit used to measure the rate of electric current flow.
12. The amount of potential energy per unit of charge at a specific point in an electric field.
14. The attraction or repulsion between charged objects.
16. A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
19. A principle stating that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
