100
Electric charge comes in two types, commonly referred to as this.
What are positive and negative?
100
The unit of voltage.
What is Volt?
100
The SI unit for power
What is Watt?
100
The kind of circuit in which all resistors are on one continuous unbroken path
What is a series circuit?
100
The area around an electrically charged object is referred to as this.
What is the Electric Field?
200
What opposite charges do.
What is attract?
200
The unit of electric current.
What is Amp(ere)?
200
The equation for electric power.
What is P = IV?
200
In a parallel circuit, this is what is always the same for each branch.
What is the voltage drop?
200
The person who decided that the charge of the electron should be defined as negative, which in retrospect was really a bad idea because it messed up the definition of current. (That's probably why no one liked him and he was never elected president.)
Who was Ben Franklin?
300

The unit of electric charge.

What is coulomb?

300

The equation for Ohm's Law.

What is V = IR?

300
The power given off by a 9V battery which is sending out 3 Amps of current.
What is 27 Watts?
300
The total resistance in a series circuit containing a 4 Ohm, an 8 Ohm and a 10 Ohm resistor.
What is 22 Ohms?
300
What AC stands for with respect to electricity.
What is Alternating Current?
400

Two sub-atomic particles with equal and opposite charges.

What are protons and electrons.

400

The intrinsic property that measures how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current

What is resistivity?

400

The standard SI unit of energy.

What is Joule?

400
A circuit which is partly series and partly parallel is called this.
What is a compound circuit?
400
The name for the wire inside a light bulb that glows to give off light.
What is the filament?
500

The three variables that determine the Force between two charges, according to Coulomb's Law.

What are q1, q2, and r?

500
The equation which defines Electric Potential or Voltage.
What is Energy/Charge?
500

The power given off by a 1.5V battery with 4A current.

What is 6 Watts?

500
Parallel circuits often contain one of these, a device which closes the entire circuit in case the total amount of current becomes dangerously high.
What is a circuit breaker? (Or, what is a fuse?)
500
He designed the first AC motor, better light bulbs than Edison's, and a method to transmit electricity without the use of wires, but despite the film The Prestige, he didn't invent a cloning machine.
