=[|Attract]- the act of trying to come together.= =[|Battery]- a small device that stores energy in a chemical form. [|Types of Currents]= =__**[|Complete Circuit]**__ - All the connections including wires, a battery, and a device that uses energy such as a light bulb. In a complete circuit, these objects are all connected in a way that the device that uses energy is working. [|The Electricity Book]= =__**[|Electricity]**__**-**is the presence or movement of electrons, which are tiny, negatively charged particles that orbit an atom’s nucleus. = =[|Electromagnetism]- Using electricity, wires, and an iron core to create a temporary magnet. It can be made powerful as needed. [|Brain Pop Electromagnetism]= =__**[|Conductor]**__ - A material that allows electricity to go through it.= =[|Current Electricity-] The flow of electricity through a conductor.= =__**Incomplete Circuit**__ - All the connections including wires, a battery, and a device that uses energy such as a light bulb. In an __**incomplete circuit**__, these objects are missing part of the necessary connection and the device that uses energy does not work.= =__**[|Insulator]**__ - A material which does not allow electricity to go through it.= =__**Load**__ - A reference to the amount of devices which are in a circuit. More devices in the circuit increase the load.= =__**Parallel circuit**__ - When there are several paths for the current to follow.= =**__Pathway__-** a course through which electricity will flow.= =__**Power Source**__- a device that supplies electricity to a circuit; such as a battery, a solar cell, or generator.= =__**Repel**__- to push apart.= =__**[|Static Electricity]**__- the collection of electrical energy (a charge) in one spot.= =__**Switch**-__ a device that immediately changes a circuit from a complete to incomplete.=
