Electricity

Front 1

Electricity

Back 1

The form of energy that produces light,heat,magnetic n chemical changes

Front 2

Electrons

Back 2

Tiny,negatively charged particles.

Front 3

Current

Back 3

Flow of electrons along a path a conductor.

Front 9

2 forms of current

Back 9

DC and AC

Front 10

Special instruments to change currents

Back 10

Converter and rectifyer

Front 11

Generator

Back 11

Has neg. N pos. Terminal, used n salons most often,produces alternating current, and uses mechanical energy to produce flow of electrons.

Front 12

Battery

Back 12

Has a neg. And pos. Terminal,produces direct current only,electrons flow toward positive terminal.

Front 13

2 conditions necessary for an electric current.

Back 13

Source and circuit

Front 14

2 ways electrons flow

Back 14

Closed path (circuit) and open circuit

Front 15

Parallel wiring

Back 15

Powers several loads at once or different times.

Front 16

Series wiring

Back 16

Runs all loads at the same time. Circuits travel from one load to the next.

Front 17

Overload

Back 17

Too many appliances on one circuit r being operated at the same time,line has more current than it is designed to carry.

Front 18

Short circuit

Back 18

Occurs when a foreign conductor comes in contact with wire carrying current to load.

Front 19

Fuze

Back 19

Safety device containing fine metal wire that allows current to flow thru it n melts fine wire to break current if overload occurs

Front 20

Circuit breaker

Back 20

Reusable device that breaks the flow of current when an overload occurs

Front 21

Ground wire

Back 21

3-wire system running directly to the ground that protects u when operating certain kinds of appliances. Prevents excess flow of current from going to user.3-prong plug found on any appliance requiring this protection.
