Question

match the term to the vocabulary word.
flow of electrical energy from one place to another
path that can allow electricity to flow, if closed.
materials that electricity can easily flow through (e.g., metals).
materials that electricity cannot easily flow through (e.g., wood, plastic, rubber)
measure of potential energy between two points in a circuit or in a battery.
component of a circuit that reduces the amount of electricity flowing through it.
resistor insulator electricity conductor volts circuit

Explanation:

• Flow of electrical energy from one place to another: This is the definition of electricity.
• Path that can allow electricity to flow, if closed: This describes a circuit.
• Materials that electricity can easily flow through (e.g., metals): These are conductors.
• Materials that electricity cannot easily flow through (e.g., wood, plastic, rubber): These are insulators.
• Measure of potential energy between two points in a circuit or in a battery: This is volts.
• Component of a circuit that reduces the amount of electricity flowing through it: This is a resistor.

Answer:

• Flow of electrical energy from one place to another: Electricity
• Path that can allow electricity to flow, if closed: Circuit
• Materials that electricity can easily flow through (e.g., metals): Conductor
• Materials that electricity cannot easily flow through (e.g., wood, plastic, rubber): Insulator
• Measure of potential energy between two points in a circuit or in a battery: Volts
• Component of a circuit that reduces the amount of electricity flowing through it: Resistor
