1. A basic property of the tiny particles that make up matter; it can be positive or negative: Some particles of matter have an electric charge. Electric Charge

2. The buildup of charges on an object. Static Electricity

3. The area around electric charges in which electric forces can act: Strong static electric charges have large electric fields. Electric Field

4. The flow of electrons. Electric Current

5. The path an electric current follows. Electric Circuit

6. An electric circuit in which the current has only one path to follow. Series Circuit

7. An electric circuit that has more than one path for the current to follow. Parallel Circuit

8. The measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current: Most metals have low resistance. Resistance

9. A flaw in a circuit that enables current to flow where it is not wanted: Short circuits can keep electrical devices from working properly. Short Circuit

10. A material that carries electricity well Conductor

11. A material that does not conduct electricity well. Insulator

12. A magnet made by coiling a wire around a piece of iron and running electric current through the wire. Electromagnet
