Conductors
a type of material that allows the flow of charge (electric current).
Insulators
A material in which electric current does not flow freely
Continuity
the presence of a complete path for current flow.
Short
An unintended electrical connection between current carrying parts.
Open
A circuit where the path has been interrupted or "opened“ at some point so that current will not flow.
current
the rate of flow of electric charge through a material, usually in the form of electrons, and is measured in amperes (A)
voltage
the "electrical pressure" or difference in electrical potential between two points in a circuit that pushes electric charge (electrons) through it, enabling them to do work
resistance
the opposition a material offers to the flow of electric current
