Definition
controlled electricity, flows through wires
Term
Static electricity
Definition
ESD- electostatic Discharge
Term
Analog signal
Definition
allows a continous infinately variables between two fixed values
Term
Digital
Definition
as being one of two fixed values. 1 & 0
Term
conductors
Definition
allows current to flow redily. Minimal resitance. (Metals Gold, Silver,and Copper anre the best)
Term
non conductors
Definition
insulators that ofer resitance. (Air, ceramics, woods, glass, and rubber)
Term
Semi conductors
Definition
offers less conductivity than metal, but more than conductivity than resitors. (silicon -from quartz) used for manufacturing microchips, and geranium)
