Electricity Vocabulary

3. A passive electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field.
5. A formula stating that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
9. The electric potential difference that pushes charge through a circuit
12. The net rate at which charge passes through a cross-section of a conductor, measured in amperes.
13. A fundamental property of matter, either positive or negative, that causes it to experience a force in an electric field.
17. The opposition to the flow of electric current within a material, measured in ohms.
18. The SI unit of potential difference or electromotive force, equal to one joule per coulomb.
19. A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
20. A circuit with only one path for current to flow through all components sequentially.

1. The unidirectional flow of electric charge, typically from positive to negative.
2. The difference in electric potential (voltage) between two points, driving the flow of charge.
4. A circuit where components are connected across the same two nodes, providing multiple paths for current.
6. The SI unit of electric current, defined as one coulomb of charge flowing per second.
7. Electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes magnitude over time.
8. The potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field.
10. The rate at which electrical energy is transferred or consumed by a circuit, measured in watts.
11. The SI unit of electrical resistance, equivalent to one volt per ampere.
14. The force of attraction or repulsion between charged particles.
15. A closed conductive path through which electric charges flow.
16. A graphic representation of an electrical circuit using standardized symbols.
