 Photons | Small "packages" of light that act just like small particles |
| Charging by conduction | Charging an object by allowing it to come into contact with an object which already has an electrical charge |
| Charging by induction | Charging an object by forcing some of the charges to leave the object |
| Electrical current | The amount of charge that travels through an electric circuit each second |
| Conventional current | Current that flows from the positive side of the battery to the negative side. This is the way current is drawn in circuit diagrams, even though it is wrong. |
| Resistance | A measure of how much metal impedes the flow of electrons |
| Open circuit | A circuit that does not have a complete connection between the two sides of the battery. As a result, current does not flow |
