Current
The flow of charged particles through a conductor or space.
What is current?
This is the range of the electromagnetic spectrum that human eyes can see, making up the colors of the rainbow.
What is visible light?
This is a source of energy that doesn't replenish itself.
What is a non-renewable energy source?
This is the ability of an object to resist the flow of current through it. Conductors have a low amount of this while insulators have a high amount of this.
What is resistance?
This describes the area around an object where one will experience magnetic forces. Bonus points for naming the 2 types of it.
What is a magnetic field? What is a north and south pole?
This a collection of electric devices (i.e. wires, resistors, batteries, etc.) that allow for the current to flow.
What is a Circuit?
These 2 characteristics of waves will affect what color light is perceived as. Red light has the longest of one and lowest amount of the other, while Violet light has the shortest of one and the greatest amount of the other.
What is wavelength and frequency?
These are examples of non-renewable energy resources.
What are coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power?
These are the 2 ways one can connect batteries in a circuit. One increases the voltage as current goes through multiple batteries, while the other keeps the voltage equal to that of 1 battery as the current gets divided into multiple paths.
What is Series and Parallel?
This is the area of around an electric charge where one will feel electric forces of repelling and attracting. Bonus points for naming the 2 different types.
What is an electric field? What is positive and negative fields?
This is a devices that measures the amount of current flowing through a circuit. It's measures in units of amperes or amps.
What is an ammeter?
These three descriptors describe how light interacts with object. One describes light reflecting or being absorbed by objects, one describes light being transmitted through an object, and one describes light being scattered as it goes through an object.
What is opaque, transparent, and translucent?
These are example of renewable energy resources.
What are solar power, wind power, hydroelectric power, biomass, and geothermal power?
This is the equation that determines the amount of resistance an object has.
What is Resistance=Voltage/Current?
This is the force you get when combining electric and magnetic forces.
What is electromagnetic force?
This is a circuit which has a gap in a circuit that prevents current from flowing, while this is when a circuit allows for current to flow as there are no gaps.
What is an open circuit and a closed circuit?
These four descriptors describe how light travels when interacting with objects.
What is reflection, diffusion, refraction, and absorption?
These are reasons solar power isn't more popularized as an energy resource.
What is they are really expensive, they are less effective during cloudy weather, and they only are useful during the day time?
This is amount of work needed to move an electrical charge through a circuit.
What is electric potential or voltage?
This is the name of an atom that has electric charge. This occurred by the atom gaining or losing an electron.
What is an ion?
The flow of current will generate this, allowing you to pickup metal objects.
What is a magnetic field?
These characteristics will affect the brightness of light, i.e. the energy the light source has.
What is the amplitude of the light wave and distance from the object
When any of the power sources we've discussed are used for energy, this is spun, causing a generator to spin and providing electricity to the the local area.
What is a turbine?
This is a devices used to resist the flow of current through a circuit.
What is a resistor?
Increasing the number of wire coils and/or increasing the current running through wire will increase the strength of this object.
What is an electromagnet?
