What is the difference between a cell and a battery?
100
Ammeter measures current in Amps. Voltmeter measures voltage in Volts.
What does and ammeter and a voltmeter measure?
100
Magnetic materials are attracted/repelled by magnets
Explain the difference between a magnetic material and a non-magnetic material.
100
They either get attracted or repelled.
What happens to magnetic materials near magnets?
200
A cell and wire
What are 2 main things you need to make a circuit?
200
You can change the amount of resistance in a variable resistor.
What is the difference between a resistor and a variable resistor?
200
Iron, cobalt, nickel.
Name 3 magnetic materials.
200
They are used to find the magnetic field of a magnet.
What are iron filings used for?
300
Parallel circuits divide the electrical current evenly
What is the difference between a series and a parallel circuit?
300
Electrons flow through the wire
What happens inside the wire when electricity passes through it?
300
It's main use is to charge the magnetic core.
What is the main use of Coil in an electromagnet?
300
It's strongest when it's closest to the magnet.
Where is the magnetic field of a magnet strongest?
400
The bulb would get dimmer because it takes up more energy.
If you add another bulb to a series circuit, what would happen? Why?
400
Nothing. The bulbs stay in the exact same brightness.
If one bulb breaks in a parallel circuit, what happens to the others?
400
Wood, cotton, plastic, glass, rubber.
Give 5 examples of 5 non-magnetic materials.
400
It is used to find the north pole of the earth
What is a compass used for?
500
The longer the wire is, the more resistance there will be.
Explain the connection between resistance and wires?
500
It's main use is to divide electricity evenly in a circuit. Used in lights
What is the main use of a parallel circuit?
500
It's used to carry electricity to the coil.
Where is wire used in an electromagnet?
