1. Electric Curent:
1.1. Book Defnition: Continuous flow of an electric charge.
1.2. My Definition: Electric charges continuously flowing with no end.
1.3. Examples:
1.3.1. Electrolytes
1.3.2. Lightning Bolt
1.3.3. Lightbulbs
2. Voltage:
2.1. Book Definition: A source of energy.
2.2. My Definition: Energy to use to complete a circuit.
2.3. Examples:
2.3.1. Batteries
2.3.2. Stereo Recievers
3. Resistance:
3.1. Book Definition: Opposite flow to the charges in the material.
3.2. My Definition: Charges flowing opposite of the charges in the material.
3.3. Examples:
3.3.1. Wood
3.3.2. Copper

4.3. Examples:
4.3.1. Sliding your hands on the side as you go down a slide.
4.3.2. Rubbing your socks on the carpet.
5. Electric Charge:
5.1. Book Definition: A property that causes subatomic particles such as protons and electrons to attract or repel each other.
5.2. My Definition: Protons or electrons attracting or repelling each other.
5.3. Examples:
6. Electric Force:
6.1. Book Definition: Attraction or repulsion between electrically charged objects.

7. Electric Field:
7.1. Book Definition: The effect an electric charge has on other charges in the space around it.
7.2. My Definition: Electric charges effecting hte charges in the space aorund it.
7.3. Examples:
8. Electric Circuits:
8.1. Book Definition: A complete path through which a charge can flow.
8.1.1. Series: A single path for electrons to flow.
8.1.1.1. If one goes out or turns on, so does the rest.
8.1.2. Parallel: Multiple paths for electrons to flow.
8.1.2.1. If one goes out or turns on, the rest will remain the same.
8.2. My Definition: A path where charges can flow continuously.
