Static Electricity
a stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, which causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.
Static Discharge
Electrostatic discharge is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown.
Law of Conservation of Charge
charge conservation is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes.
Conductor
a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge in one or more directions.
Insulator
An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely very little electric current will flow through it under the influence of an electric field.
Charging by Contact
When contact is made between a charged object and a neutral object electrons are transferred between the objects.
Charging by Induction
brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object.
Electron
fundamental particle with negative electric charge that is found arranged in quantum mechanical orbits about neutral atoms.
Proton
a positively charged elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of all atomic nuclei.
Electric Current
An electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point or region.
Electric Field
An electric field surrounds an electric charge, and exerts force on other charges in the field, attracting or repelling them.
Electric Force
an experimental law of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles.
Electric Circuit
An electrical network is an interconnection of electrical components or a model of such an interconnection, consisting of electrical elements.
Voltage
electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points.
Voltage Source
A voltage source is a two-terminal device which can maintain a fixed voltage
Resistance
The electrical resistance of an object is a measure of its opposition to the flow of electric current.
Ohm’s Law
Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
Series Circuit
Components of an electrical circuit or electronic circuit can be connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel
Parallel Circuit
A parallel circuit is a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.
Electric Power
Electric power is the rate, per unit time, at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit.
Ammeter
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit.
Galvanometer
A galvanometer is an electromechanical instrument used for detecting and indicating an electric current.
Voltmeter
A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit.
Electric Motor
They transform electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Electromagnetic Induction
Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.
Short Circuit
short circuit is simply a low resistance connection between the two conductors supplying electrical power to any circuit
Circuit Breaker
A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit
Fuse
In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.
Power
power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.
Energy
energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object.
Grounded
is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size.
Energy
is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object.
Magnet
is an object or a device that gives off an external magnetic field.
Magnetic Field
is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electric charges in relative motion and magnetized materials.
Magnetic Pole
is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, where it interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun
Magnetosphere
is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are manipulated or affected by that object's magnetic field.
Van Allen Belts
is a zone of energetic charged particles, most of which originate from the solar wind, that are captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetic field.
Solar Wind
is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona.
Aurora
is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions.
Magnetic Field Lines
are a visual tool used to represent magnetic fields
