100
A material that allows electricity to flow easily
What is a conductor?
100
Measures the amount of electrical push or force.
What is a volt?
100
Any substance that has the ability to attract iron.
What is a magnet?
100
Discovered that current traveling through a wire produced a weak magnetic field in the wire.
Who is Hans Christian Oersted?
100
Uses electricity to communicate information.
What is an electronic device?
200
A material through which electricity cannot flow.
What is an insulator?
200
Measurement of the amount of power, or how fast the work is done.
What is watts?
200
Is where magnetic attraction is strongest.
What are the poles of the magnet?
200
Increasing the size of this allows an electromagnet to do even more work.
What is the core?
200
Acts like the brain of the computer.
What is the CPU?
300
A material that reduces the flow of electricity.
What is a resistor?
300
A circuit with more than one pathway
What is a parallel circuit?
300
This is what happens when like poles are put together
What is repel?
300
Uses a magnet to convert motion into electrical energy.
What is a generator?
300
A very small circuit with all the parts built into it.
What is the integrated circuit?
400
A liquid or paste substance that conducts electricity
What is an electrolyte?
400
Measures how much current flows through a given part of a circuit in one second.
What is ampere?
400
The area of magnetic force around a magnet.
What is magnetic field?
400
Joseph Henry and this British scientist discovered that moving a magnet around or through a loop of wire produces electricity in the wire.
Who is Michael Faraday?
400
Can work as a conductor or as an insulator.
What is a semiconductor?
500
Produced when a charge builds up on the surface of an object
What is static electricity?
500
The flow of electrons around a circuit.
What is current electricity?
500
They are similar because they both attract and repel objects.
What are static electricity and magnets?
500
Discovered that adding a metal core to a coil of wire increases the magnetism even more.
Who is William Sturgeon?
500
Uses open and closed circuits to communicate the numbers 1 and 0
What is the binary number system?
