Energy Forms
The type of mechanical energy that is stored in an object.
What is potential energy?
This is the transformation in a ball that occurs when a person kicks a soccer ball.
What is from potential to kinetic?
The energy that occurs due to the buildup of charges on an object.
What is static electricty?
The path along which electric charges can flow.
What is a circuit?
The type of energy that is in a spring before it is released.
What is potential energy?
The energy transformation that happens when you turn on a flashlight.
The phenomenon that occurs when electrons jump from one object to another.
What is electrostatic discharge?
The sub-atomic particle that has no charge?
What is a neutron?
A complete loop where there are no breaks in the path that allows electrical current to flow.
What is a closed circuit?
This is a form of energy that travels in vibrating matter.
The energy transformation that happens when you turn on a radio that is plugged into the wall.
What is from electrical to light, heat, and sound energy?
The phenomenon that occurs when two positive or two negative charges come into contact with each other.
What is to repel?
The sub-atomic particle(s) that are NOT in the nucleus.
The electrons.
The part of a circuit that allows one to turn the electrical current on and off.
What is a switch?
This is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance or object.
That is thermal energy?
The energy transformation that occurs when a person is playing the trumpet.
The flow of electrons.
What is electrical current?
The total charge of an atom that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons and 7 electrons.
What is a -1?
The type of circuit when one light goes out and they all go out.
What is a series circuit?
This is a form of energy that can travel through space and pass through some types of matter, such as air or glass.
What is light energy?
The energy transformation that occurs when a car is started.
From chemical energy to mechanical, electrical, light, sound, and heat energy.
The metal in the center of a wire.
What is a conductor?
The reaction of a pair of objects where one has a charge of +24 and the other has a charge of -20.
What is they would attract?
The type of circuit where charges have more than one path they can travel.
What is a parallel circuit?
