insulators

Answer 4

are nonconductors few electrons high resistance like rubber

Question 5

voltage

Answer 5

is force required to move electrons from one places to another

Question 6

current

Answer 6

movement of free electrons through a conductor rate of movement

Question 7

resistance

Answer 7

amount of oppositon a device or material offers to the movement of electrons

Question 8

conductance

Answer 8

is the ability of a material to pass electrons

Question 9

Question 14

current flows which direction?

Answer 14

Negative to positive!

Question 15

fuses and circuit breakers

Answer 15

rated by amount of current and V they will handle, and are used to protect the circuit from excessive current.

Question 16

GROUND symbols

Answer 16

the term ground is a common reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured.
