energy transfer in electrical sysytems

pathways for electric current/charge to flow through

flow of electric charge through a conductor

a continuosly conducting path along which electric current can flow

conducting wire switch cell/battery resistor

material for electrons to flow through made of good conductors such as metal carry electricity over short or long distances

breaks the flow of electric charge in the conductors when open, circuit = broken, no current will flow through when closed, circuit = complete, current will flow through convenient way of controlling electricala flow in currents

oppose the flow of current copper wire offer some resistance and become hot when charge flows through them resistors affect amount of current in a circuit

lightbulb: contains resisted wire called a filament (tungsten) filament resists flow of charge filament heats up to be white hot, gives of light and heat resistant wire connected to : • metal casing of bulb • solder knob

a. heating effect b. chemical effect c. magnetic effect

a current carrying conductor that produces a magnetic field and can be used as a temporary magnet

a solenoid with a core of magnetic material such as soft iron forms temporary magnet that can be switched on/off by switching current off/on

when an electric current is used to break a chemical substance down into its composite elements

a solution containing free electrons or fluid that a current can pass

small rods connected to a battery or sell

the positive terminal

the negative terminal

when metals like iron or copper is covered with a layer of silver to make them shiny and prevent them from rusting

don’t give up! '’check in your book!!!’’ go on!! look for series and parallel circuits and read from there! thanks for your passionce (if that’s how you spell it…)
