Electricity Basics
The moving tiny particles that create electricity are these
What are electrons?
Current cannot flow when the path is broken. This is called an _____ circuit
What is open?
This type of engineer designs and builds things such as bridges, roads, and buildings
What is a Civil Engineer?
This Eaton product helps athletes keep control of their club during their swing
What is golf grip?
This force slows a rolling ball in grass
What is friction?
This word means the flow of electricity in a wire
What is current?
Current can flow when there's a complete loop. This is a _____ circuit.
What is closed?
This type of engineer works with electricity, circuits, and power systems that keep lights and devices running.
What is an Electrical Engineer?
Eaton provides power management and backup systems for these facilities, where losing electricity could be life-threatening
What are hospitals?
This is the hardest natural substance on earth
What is diamond?
Materials like copper that allow electricity to flow easily are called these
What are conductors?
This device protects a circuit by interrupting current when there's a problem
What is a circuit breaker?
This type of engineer designs machines like engines, motors, and moving parts
What is a Mechanical Engineer?
Eaton's aerospace division builds components for vehicles that must operate at high altitude, low temperatures, and strong vibration
What are aircraft (or airplanes)?
This animal has blue blood and 3 hearts
What is an octopus?
This is what slows down current, and it's measured in Ohms
What is resistance?
A circuit with more than one path for current is called this
What is a parallel circuit?
This engineer uses computers and code to create software, apps, or games.
What is a Software Engineer?
Eaton products are used here to protect workers and equipment in places that run large machines all day
What are factories (or manufacturing plants)?
We always see the same side of this object because it rotates and orbits earth at the same rate
What is the moon?
What is an insulator?
This unit measures how much power a lightbulb, motor, or charger uses
What is a Watt?
This type of engineer improves how products are made so factories can work faster, safer, and cheaper
What is Industrial Engineer?
Eaton products help keep electrical systems running on these vehicles that travel for days without access to land
What are ships?
This animal can regrow lost limbs
What is an axolotl (and some salamanders)?
