Electric current that changes direction continually.
Alternating current
Gum or resin from trees that has fossilized and turned solid.
Amber
A device that stores electricity for future use.
Capacitor
A path electricity follows, from a source through a connection to an output device.
Circuit
A substance that allows electricity to pass through it.
Conductor
The unit of measure of electrical charge.
Coulomb
Electric current that flows only in one direction, such as that supplied by a battery.
Direct Current
The amount of electrical energy stored in a battery, capacitor, or any insulated object that can hold energy for a time.
Electrical charge
A form of energy associated with the presence and movements of electrical charges.
Electricity
lamp that burns a filament in a vacuum in a glass bulb.
Incadescent Light Bulb
When an electrical current is produced without any physical connection between the two parts of the circuit.
Induction
A material that does not conduct electricity, or in other words, doesn't allow electricity to pass through it.
Insulator
Unlike charges attract each other and like charges repel each other.
Law of Electric Charges
A type of iron ore with a silvery finish, sometimes called magnetite.
Lodestone
The push or pull of magnets, which are electrically charged with poles attracted to the North Pole or South Pole.
Magnetism
The relationship, in a circuit using direct current, among voltage, current and resistance: One volt of electricity (E) is needed to force one ampere of current (I) through one ohm of resistance (R).
