| conduction | the tranfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by direct contact |
| induction | the movement of electrons to one part of an object that is caused by the electric field of a second object |
| static discharge | the loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another |
| electric current | the continuous flow of electric charges through a material |
| electric circuit | a complete unbroken path through wich electric charges can flow |
| conductor | a material through wich charges can flow through easily |
| insulator | a material through wich charges can not flow easily |
| voltage | the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in a circuit |
| voltage source | a devic that creates a potential difference in an electric circuit |
| resistance | the measure of how difficult it is for charges to flow through a material |
