A circuit consists of:
a power source, wire and electrical devices.
The electrons move from the ____ terminal through the circuit to the ___ terminal to generate current.
negative / positive
The area of electric force around an electrically charged particle
Electric Field
We draw the electric field around a particle or between particles with lines called
electric field lines
The balloon will gain negative charges from the mitten and become negative. The mitten becomes positive because it loses negative charges.
The power source provides a:
force or pressure to push the current.
What type of circuit has devices that are linked together with separate pathways or loops, current splits and has independent paths to take through each device?
Parallel
The strength of the electric field _____ as you move away from the electrically charged particle/object.
decreases
Electric field lines can cross sometimes
If you have a negatively charged balloon, how is it possible to stick on a wall?
