Electric Discharge: the rapid transfer of electrons

from one object to another

Grounding: connecting an object to a large body,

like Earth, that can remove an electric charge from

the object

Conductor: a material that transmits electrical

energy easily

Conductor: a material that transmits electrical

energy easilymetals make the best conductors

Insulator: a material that resists or blocks the flow

of electrons through it
