the study of the forces acting between charges, called electricity at restelectrostatics
the study of the forms of energy associated with the flow of chargeelectric current
the study of the forces acting between charges in motionelectromagnetism
subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atomneutron
does not refer to a third type of charge, but to the presence in a region of positive and negative charges in equal amount.neutral
the transfer by contact with an already charged objectconduction
is the separation of charge when near an already charged object with no physical contactinduction
imaginary region in space surrounding a charged objectelectric field
imaginary region in space surrounding a charged objectelectric field
The electric field has two frequently usedN/C
continuous flow of charges through a materialelectricity
the difference in electric potential between two points, which is defined as the work needed per unit of charge to move a test charge between the two pointsvoltage
another call for voltageelectromotive force
The positive and negative terminals are calledpolarities
device that measures the voltage or potential between two points.voltmeter
measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuitresistance
passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit elementresistor
defined as flow of electrons in wire, or the rate of flow of charges thru a wirecurrent
device that measures the current through a material in a circuit.ammeter
is the rate of work done per unit time, at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuitelectrical power
is the work done by moving electric chargeselectrical energy
The meter used to measure the energy that we consume at home is called thekwh meter
defined as a path for current to flowelectrical circuit
like the gate valve and the hose like the connecting wiresvoltage source
are a graphical representations of an electrical circuitelectrical diagrams
diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representationspictorial
consisting of just one battery and one load resistance are very simple to analyze, but they are not often found in practical applications.circuits
in this circuit connection the components are connected end-to-end in a line to form a single path through which current can flow.series
in this circuit connection, all components are connected across each other’s leadsparallel
These circuits combine the characteristics of both series and parallel.combination circuits
These laws are used to analyze and solve circuits that cannot be reduced by the rules of combining resistors in series and in parallelkirchhoff's laws
The sum of all currents entering a junction must be equal to the sum of all currents leaving the junction”current law
states that the algebraic sum of potential differences, including voltage supplied by the voltage sources and resistive elements, in any loop must be equal to zero.voltage law
in a parallel circuit is a path for electric current formed by one of the load components (such as a resistor).branch
used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.resistor
