100
An electric circuit with multiple paths through which current can flow.
What is a parallel circuit?
100
A closed path that electricity can flow through.
What is a circuit?
100
Only this allows a controlled flow of electricity that can be used to power devices.
What is circuits?
100
When electricity does not flow easily through a material, it is described as this.
What is an insulator?
100
Opening the circuit makes this happen.
What is electricity stops flowing?
200
When electricity flows easily through a material, the material is described as this.
What is a good conductor?
200
A material that transmits energy.
What is a conductor?
200
To prevent electricity or heat from passing through.
What is insulate?
200
When the light switch in your room is OFF the circuit is this. (opened or closed??) (think back to the switch in the virtual lab)
What is open? When the switch was opened, the bulb would not come on and you could clip the wires.
200
One (of many) good insulators.
What is plastic, ceramics, glass, rubber or fabric?
300
A series circuit provides this many paths for electricity flow.
What is one.
300
The type of circuit that probably is in your home.
What is parallel?
300
A safety device in a circuit that stops the flow of electricity when there is too much current flowing through the circuit.
What is a fuse?
300
An electric circuit in which all the working parts are on one line from positive to negative terminal.
What is a series circuit?
300
This opens and closes the circuit so that the flow of electricity can be controlled.
What is a switch?
400
Closing the circuit makes this happen.
What is makes electricity flow.
400
In a parallel circuit, opening a switch will only prevent this.
What is a current flow through PART of the circuit.
400
A parallel circuit provides this many paths for electricity flow.
What is more than one?
400
A mechanical device that can connect or disconnect parts of an electric circuit.
What is a switch?
400
The movement of electric charges through a material.
What is current?
500
A device that changes stored chemical energy into electrical energy.
What is a battery?
500
Two materials (of many) that electricity can flow through.
What is air, salt water, or the human body?
500
We can control the flow of electricity in a circuit by doing this.
What is using the switch to turn the electricity on or off.
500
On a set of Christmas lights, one bulb is not shining but the other are still lit on this type of circuit.
What is parallel?
500
**A switch in an electrical circuit is an example of this.**
What is an interrupter? (it interrupts the flow of electricity)
