Electricity
This is the flow of charged particles
What is electricity
This is the buildup of non-flowing electric charge
What is static electricity
This is the sustained flow of electricity
What is an electric current
Electricity can flow through an open circuit
What is FALSE
This is one thing you should keep all electric devices away from
What is WATER
These are the people who design new technology that uses electrical energy
Who are electrical engineers
Objects with these kinds of charges pull toward, or attract, each other
What are opposite charges
This is the path electric charges flow along
What is a circuit
What is TRUE.
Never plug in an appliance that has this type of wire
What is FRAYED
Atoms can have one of these two charges
What is positive or negative
Objects with these types of charges push away, or repel, each other
What are the same charges
This is a device that can open or close a circuit
What is a switch
Incandescent bulbs contain gas.
What is FALSE.
Putting too many plugs into an outlet is unsafe and called this
What is OVERLOADING
When an object has equal numbers of positive and negative charges it is called this
What is neutral
This material allows electricity to flow through it easily
What is a conductor
This is the type of circuit that has only ONE path for the electricity to flow
What is a series circuit
A resistor is a material which slows down an electric current but does not stop it.
What is TRUE.
This is the ONLY thing which should EVER be put into an outlet
What is a PLUG
This is the movement of negative charges between two objects until the objects are neutral
What is electric discharge
This material does NOT allow electricity to flow through it easily
What is an insulator
This is the type of circuit with MORE than one path for the electricity to flow through
What is a parallel circuit
A fluorescent light bulb uses a current passing through a filament to make light.
What is FALSE.
Always stay away from these large wires which carry electricity to entire neighborhoods
What are POWER LINES
