IPC - CH 6: Electricity

3. Circuit in which electric current has only one path to follow.
4. States that the current in a circuit equals the voltage difference divided by the resistance.
6. The rearranging of electrons on a neutral object caused by bringing a charged object close to it.
7. Material in which electrons and thermal energy are not able to move easily.
10. A device, sometimes consisting of two leaves of metallic foil, used to detect electric charge.
12. Circuit in which electric current has more than one path to follow.
13. The accumulation of excess electric charge on an object.
14. Material, such as copper wire, through which electrons can move easily.
15. The transferring of electrical charge between objects by touching or rubbing.
16. A region surrounding every electric charge in which a force of attraction or repulsion is exerted on other electric charges.

1. Related to the force that causes electric charges to flow; measured in volts (V).
2. States that charge can be transferred from one object to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
5. A closed path that electric current follows.
8. The net movement of electric charges in a single direction, measured in amperes (A).
9. Rate at which electrical energy is converted to another form of energy; expressed in watts (W).
11. Tendency for a material to oppose electron flow and to convert electrical energy into other forms of energy, such as thermal energy and light; measured in ohms (Ω).
