Matter
Has mass and takes up space.
What is Matter?
This number tells you the number of protons in an atom.
What is the atomic number?
This common phrase is used to help people remember that a positive charge attracts a negative charge.
What is "Opposites Attract"?
Materials that easily move electrons are called this.
What are electrical conductors?
The variable that is manipulated or changed in the experimental design.
What is independent variable?
The building blocks of matter.
What are atoms?
Has the symbol Au on the periodic table of elements.
What is gold?
This type of charge results from gaining an electron.
What is negative?
Rubber, oil, plastic, and air are all examples of this type of material.
What are electrical insulators?
The variable that is measured during an experiment.
What is dependent variable?
Positively charged subatomic particle.
What is a proton?
This number tells you the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.
What is the atomic mass?
This type of charge results from losing electrons.
What is positive?
The number of electrons per second flowing through a circuit is called _____________, and is measured in a unit known as Amperes or Amps (A).
What is current?
The splitting of water using electricity.
What is electrolysis?
Hydrogen, beryllium, potassium, and sulfur are all examples of this.
What are elements?
Has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
What is Carbon?
The accumulation of negative charges at the bottom of a storm cloud and the positive charges on the surface of the earth during a storm are examples of this phenomenon.
What is static electricity?
Just as a dozen means 12, this term means 6 x 1018 (electrons per second).
What is a coulomb?
This type of circuit allows for two branches of wires to receive full voltage in each loop.
What is a parallel circuit?
NaCl, H2O, and CH4 are all examples of this.
What are compounds?
The only element on the periodic table that is stable without any neutrons in the nucleus of its atom.
What is hydrogen?
Shocking your little sister after rubbing your feet on the rug is an example of this phenomenon.
What is electrical discharge?
A law used to describe the following principles of electricity: 1) when resistance increases, current decreases and 2) when voltage increases, current increases. Depicted as a formula (V=IR).
What is Ohm's Law?
This type of circuit may decrease the current as electrons move through multiple transformers/resistors one after another.
What is a series circuit?
