  • What is electrical energy?
    Electrical energy is the power an atom's charged particles have to cause an action or move an object.
  • What is electric charge?
    Electric charge is the measure of how strong something has interacted with another object. 
  • What are electrons?
    Negatively charged subatomic particles.
  • What is electric current?
    Flow of electric charge
  • What is an imbalance of charge?
    When the quantity of positive and negative charge in an object are not equal object has imbalance of charge - object
  • What is an electric field?
    An electric field is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles.
  • What is voltage?
    The pressure that pushes electricity 
  • What is electric power?
    Electric power is the rate of transfer of electrical energy within a circuit.
  • What is a spark?
    A small fiery particle thrown off from a fire, alight in ashes, or produced by striking together two hard surfaces such as stone or metal.
  • What is electromagnetism?
    Electromagnetism is an interaction that occurs between particles with electric charge via electromagnetic fields.
  • What is electrical science?
    Electrical science is the study of electricity 
  • What is electrodynamics?
    The branch of mechanics concerned with the interaction of electric currents with magnetic fields or with other electric currents.
  • What is electrostatics?
    The study of stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.
  • Electric force
    A force that a charge experiences inside an electric field
  • What is current?
    The flow of electric charges. It is also referred to as energy carried. Unit for current is ampere or Amp(A). Current is measured with an ammeter.
  • What is voltage? 
    Voltage, also known as electric potential difference, is the measure of potential energy per unit charge in an electric unit. Measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter.
