200
Does the circuit need to be open or closed for electrons to flow?
What is closed?
200
A material that electricity can easily flow through
What is a conductor?
200
This circuit can light two or more bulbs in sequence
What is a series circuit?
200
A path that a current can flow on
What is a circuit?
300
This is the smaller slot of a wall outlet that electrons leave from
What is the hot slot - side that electrons are entering the wire from
300
The circuit is open when the switch is in this position
What is the "off" position?
300
This is an example of static electricity

400
This will remain constant in a series circuit
What is a current?
400
These are tiny, negatively charged particles
What are electrons?
500
When using a battery as the power source, where do the electrons go once they leave the load?
What is the positive terminal?
500
This is why appliances need switches as well
What is, to complete an electric circuit?
500
Energy moves in a complete circle; from the power source, to the load, then back to the opposite side of the power source.
What is a complete circuit?
500
The more bulbs in this circuit, the dimmer each light will be.
What is a series circuit?
500
These transformers are located near power plants to prepare to send electricity down long lines
What is a step up transformers?
