Science Vocab Test

3. A type of electrostatic generator used to build up static electrical charge of very high voltages by transferring electric charge from a power supply to a spherical metal terminal.
6. that in which only the exchange of energy is allowed but the exchange of matter is not allowed.
8. a process of reasoning, used esp in science, by which a general conclusion is drawn from a set of premises, based mainly on experience or experimental evidence.
9. it is used in contrast to dynamic (moving) electricity which are in the form of electric currents.
12. A connection between an electrical conductor and the Earth
13. creating a barrier between the hot and the cold object that reduces heat transfer by either reflecting thermal radiation or decreasing thermal conduction and convection from one object to the other
14. a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms
15. boiling water without a lid.
16. A measure of the degree to which a substance impedes the flow of electric current induced by a voltage

1. a giant spark of electricity in the atmosphere or between the atmosphere and the ground.
2. a complete circular path that electricity flows through.
4. unit of electrical potential, potential difference and electromotive force in the metre–kilogram–second system
5. The repulsive or attractive interaction between any two charged bodies
7. a low-resistance connection between two conductors (objects that allow electricity to flow through them) that are supplying electricity to a circuit.
10. a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor
11. the process of transmission of energy from one particle of the medium to the other but here each particle of the medium stays at its own position.
14. the materials or substances that allow electricity to flow through them.
