Power Source
Give two examples of power sources
Battery and a generator
What is the device opens and closes an electric circuit?
a switch
What are two common types of circuits?
Series and parallel
A steady flow of electricity. What is it called?
Current
When using a battery as the power source, what side does the electricity come from?
negative terminal
Does the circuit need to be open or closed for electricity to flow?
closed
What is a material that electricity can easily flow through?
a conductor
This circuit can light two or more bulbs in sequence. What is this circuit?
A series circuit
A path that a current can flow on. What is it called?
A circuit.
This is the smaller slot of a wall outlet.
hot slot
The circuit is open when the switch is in this position
"off" position
Give an example of static electricity
lightning
This circuit can take different routes to light a bulb. What is this circuit?
A parallel circuit
A device that uses electricity in a circuit with a bulb. Name the device.
Bulb
When using a battery as the power source, where do the electricity go once they leave the load?
positive terminal
What is the position of the switch when the circuit is closed
"on" position
This circuit will not light up the other bulbs if one is out of place or goes out. Name the circuit.
A series circuit.
it offers a steady supply of electricity. What is it called?
A power source.
Why appliances need switches
to complete an electric circuit
Electricity moves in a complete circle; from the power source to the load, then back to the opposite side of the power source. What is it called?
a complete circuit
The more bulbs in this circuit, the dimmer each light will be. Identify the circuit.
A series circuit.
