Potential Energy - Batteries store this type of energy, Kinetic Energy - Electricity and the flow of electrons has this type of energy, Electrons - Subatomic particle with a negative charge and is responsible for electricity, Circuit - A path through which electrons can flow, Voltage - The electrical force that pushes the current through a conductor, Current - The flow of electrons through a conductor and measured with Amps, Resistance - Part of electrical circuit that slows the flow of electrons and measured with Ohms, Volts - Unit of measurement for voltage, Amperes - Unit of measurement for electrical current, Ohms - Unit of measurement for resistance, Open Circuit - When a circuit has a break and stops the flow of electricity, Closed Circuit - When a circuit is complete and electrons can flow around the circuit, Series Circuit - When electrical current can only follow one path, Parallel Circuit - When electrical current can follow multiple paths, Insulator - A material that stops electrical energy as it passes through. Example: Plastic, rubber, Conductor - A material that allows electrical energy to pass through it easily. Example: Copper, aluminum, Switch - This component controls the flow of electricity in a circuit; it is used to turn electrical devices on and off, Direct Current - Current where electrons flow in one direction and don't travel long distances. Invented by Thomas Edison, Alternating Current - Current where electrons flow in both directions and can travel long distances. Invented by Nikola Tesla, Battery - Has chemical energy that can be transformed into electrical energy and considered an energy source, Load - Device that the electrical current is powering. Also called the Energy Receiver., Energy Receiver - Electrical device that the current is powering. Also called the load., Wire - Connected to the power source to form a closed loop. Made of conducting material. , Power Source - Pushes the electrons through the circuit. Example: Battery, electrical outlet.,
