1. Electric Energy Notes

2. Electric Energy (Electricity)
A form of energy that is produced when electrons move from one place to another.

3. Electric Circuit
A complete path of conductors that electrons flow through

4. Open Circuit
Circuit that is not connected in some area, so electrons do not flow through. Electricity is off.

5. Open Circuit

6. Closed Circuit
Complete circuit that allows electrons to flow through completely. Electricity is on.

7. Closed Circuit

8. 2 types of Circuits SERIES PARALLEL
One path- a break will stop the whole current
More than 1 path- a break MAY NOT stop all the current.

9. Electric Current The constant flow of electrons through a conductor
Flows negative (-) to postitive (+)

10. Electric Conductor
A material that allows electricity to pass through easily.

11. Electric Insulator
A material that does not allow electricity to pass through easily

12. Resistor
A device in a circuit that slows the electric current but does not stop it.

13. Electromagnet
A temporary magnet formed by passing an electric current through a wire coiled around an iron core

14. Electromagnet

16. 4 components of a circuit:
A. Source (battery)
B. Conductor (wire)
C. Device (lightbulb)
D. Switch (off/on)
