Electric vocab

1. An electronic device that allows electron flow in only one direction.
4. Current (DC) A flow of charge that always flows in one direction.
5. The tendency for a material to resist the flow of electrons and to convert electrical energy into other forms
8. A material through which electrons move easily
9. Circuit- Devices in a circuit form a single pathway for electron flow
11. A material in which electrons are not able to move easily
12. Source An object that provides a potential difference
14. Current Net movement of electric charges in a single direction
15. of Conservation of Charge: Charge can be transferred from object to object, but it cannot be created or destroyed

2. Field: Surrounds every electric charge and exerts the force that causes other electric charges to be attracted or repelled
3. The flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second.
6. Current (AC) Electric current that repeatedly reverses direction.
7. A complete pathway that allows the flow of electrons
10. Difference The force that causes electric charges to flow
13. Circuit-- Devices in which a circuit forms branches, each of which is a separate path for electron flow
