Static Electricity
Static electricity is
A static charge put on an object
What is a circuit
A complete path for electricity to flow through
What are electromagnets
A temporary magnet powered by electricity
What is a conductor
Something that allows electricity to pass trough it
Electricity creates
Heat, light and motion
Static electricity is often created by
Rubbing an object on something
What are the two types of circuits
Series and parallel
Are electromagnets permanent of temporary
Temporary
What is a insulator
Something that stops the flow of electricity
Electricity is made up of
Electrons
How does rubbing an object on something give it static electricity
It picks up more negative charges
If a single wire break in a series circuits what happens
The whole thing goes out
When you run a wire into a battery what happens
It creates a magnetic field
Most metals are a good
Conductors
Positive and negative charges each other
Repel
A object with static electricity is likely to a object without static electricity
Attract
A open circuit is a
Circuit that is not fully connected
Electromagnets can be created by
Wrapping a wire around a nail and connecting the wire to a battery
Rubber is a
Insulator
Charges flow up to charges
Negative, positive
Static electricity is made when
Positive and negative charges aren't balanced
A closed circuit is a
Circuit that is compete with no gaps
An electromagnet consists of a
Metal core surrounded by a coil
Why are wires surrounded by rubber
Rubber is an insulator so you can touch it safely
What does the + and - indicate on battery's
The positive and negative ends
