100

This number is the mass of a single electron.

What is 9.11x10-31 kg?

100

This direction of magnetic field lines shown by dots on a page.

What is out of page?

100

This instrument is used to measure electric current

What is an Ammeter?

100

This is the flow of electric charge and is measured in charges per second.

What is Current?

100

This would be the current produced if a 12V battery is placed in a series circuit with 3, 4 Ohm resistors.

1 Amp

200
This is how the force on a charged particle changes as it moves from one charged plate to another.

What is constant force/

200
When moving a conductor through a magentic field, these particles get moved creating a voltage or potential difference.

What are electrons?

200

This form of circuit has no choices in the path for current.

What is a Series Circuit?

200

This is used to described the rate at which energy is transferred from one thing to another.

What is Power?

200

This equation would allow you to calculate charge from the measured current.

q = I/t

300

Doubling this value has no impact on the potential energy of an electron stuck to the negatively charged plate.

What is d (distance between plates)?

300

A conductive rod moving upwards through a magnetic field coming out of the page will develop a negative charge at this end.

What is Left?

300

This is the method used to calculate the total resistance of a parallel circuit.

What is 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 ...

300

This value is defined as the difference in energy per charge between two points in a circuit.

What is voltage?

300

This value increases, proportionate to the temperature of the wire

What is Resistance?

400

For a positive particle to be stationary between two charged plates, these two conditions must be met.

What are positive plate is down, FE = Fg

400

When a charged particle moves like this it experiences no force in a magnetic field.

What is moving with the magnetic field lines?

400

If a parallel circuit is broken, resulting in fewer paths for the electrons to travel through, this will increase.

What is Resistance?

400

The doubling of voltage would result in the quadrupling of this value for a standard bulb.

What is Power?

400

For a parallel circuit with three branches where:

Branch 1 has 1 x 5Ω resistor
Branch 2 has 2 x 5Ω resistors
Branch 3 has 3 x 5Ω resistors

This value is the total resistance.

2.7Ω

500

This device uses two charged plates to direct a stream of negatively charged particles to create a 2D image.

Cathode Ray Tube

500

When a wire loop is moved through a magnetic field, this condition must be met for a current to form in the wire.

Part of the loop outside of the magnetic field
500

This describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

What is Ohm's Law?

500

This assumption allows us to calculate the velocity of a charged particle after leaving an electrostatic field.

What is "conservation of energy"?

500

This is the length of a wire passing through a magnetic field of strength 1.2x10-3 T required to generate a voltage of 4.63 x10-4 V without exceeding 2.7 ms-1
