Chapter 2 Electricity Worksheet

The attraction or repulsion between electric changes.
The region around a charged object where the object's electric force interacts with other charged objects.
A buildup of charges on a object.
A method of charging an object by rubbing it against another object; the force that one object exerts on another when the two rub against each other.
a method of charging an object by allowing electrons to flow by direct contact from one object to another object.
A method of charging an object by means of the electric field of another object; the objects have no direct contact.
The continuous flow of electric charges through a material.
A complete, unbroken path through which electric charges can flow.
A material through which charges can easily flow.
A material through which charges cannot easily flow.
The difference in electrical potential energy between two place in a circuit.

The measurement of how difficult it is for changes to flow through a material.
A metal part of an electrochemical cell, which gains or losses electrons.
A liquid or paste that conducts electric current.
A combination of two or more electrochemical cells in series.
An electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a liquid.
An electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a paste.
A convenient attachment point used to connect a cell or battery to a circuit.
A safety device with a thin metal strip that will melt if too much current passes through a circuit.
An electric circuit with a single path.
a reusable safety switch that breaks the circuit when the current become too high.
An electric circuit with multiple paths.


A connection that allows current to take an unintended path.
