It's shocking!
A build up of nonflowing electrical charge on an object.
What is static electricity?
The power of an electric current measured in volts.
What is voltage?
A complete path for electrical current to flow through.
What is a circuit?
Relating to matter with strong magnetic properties.
What is ferromagnetic?
A machine that produces electricity from moving parts.
What is a generator?
The part of an atom that contains the protons & neutrons, and what are their charges?
What is the nucleus, proton/positive, neutron/neutral
A continuous flow of electrical charge.
What is current?
A measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to flow.
What is resistance?
A magnet that produces a magnetic field by means of an electric current.
What is an electromagnet?
Types of non-renewable energy sources.
What are coal, oil, & natural gas.
The part of the atom that jumps from one object to another and the charge that it has.
What is electron, negative?
This kind of material allows current to flow easily.
What is a conductor?
A circuit that has only one path for the electricity to flow through.
What is a series circuit?
This describes how electricity and magnetism are related.
What is electromagnetism?
Renewable energy sources.
What are wind, solar, & hydroelectric power?
When an atom has a positive charge.
What is more protons than electrons?
The difference between static discharge and current electricity and an example of each.
What is static discharge is a sudden exchange of charge like lightening, and current is continuously flowing in a circuit like a light bulb or air conditioner?
A circuit that has more than one path for electrical current to flow through.
What is a parallel circuit?
Increasing the current flowing through an electromagnet does this.
What is makes it stronger?
Disadvantages of nonrenewable sources of energy.
What are pollution and depletion?
When there is a sudden flow of static electricity from one object to another.
What is static discharge?
Three things needed for current to flow.
What are complete circuit, energy source, and a conductor?
The way to decrease resistance in a circuit.
What is shorten the wire, remove a light bulb, and/or make the wire thicker?
Items that are ferromagnetic.
What are iron, nickel, & cobalt?
Ways to produce electricity and still show wise use God's creation.
What are conserve energy by turning off unused appliances (lights), generate electricity without burning fuels, and use hydroelectric and other renewable resources.
