Electricity

Chemical reactions

________ use up materials in primary cells as electrons flow from them, thus the cell can be permanently discharged.

Ohmmeter

________: a device that is used to measure resistanceExamples: Lightweight carbon resistors are used in electronics.

Temperature

________: Resistance increases when electrons bump into atoms as they move through a material.

Insulator

________: a material that that does not allow the movement of electrons through it.

Electrons

________ move back and forth, changing their direction.
