Circuits
The pathway taken by an electric current.
What is a circuit?
A material that lets electric energy pass through.
What is a conductor?
What rubbing certain materials together creates.
What is static electricity?
It can be transformed into three types of energy.
What is electrical energy?
Some of these work like a magnet.
What is an iron-bearing metal?
A path that allows electric energy to flow.
What is a closed circuit?
A material that stops electric energy from going through.
What is a insulator?
The discharge of static electricity in the atmosphere.
What is lightning?
Electricity gets changed into motion.
What is mechanical energy?
An electric current creates this.
What is a magnetic field?
A path that stops the movement of electrical energy.
What is an open circuit?
The most common type of wire that is a conductor.
What is a copper wire?
He discovered that rubbing amber caused it to pick up leaves and dust.
Who is Thales of Miletus?
The electricity gets changed into heat.
What is thermal energy?
This is what happens when you move a magnetic field.
What is an electric current?
There is only one pathway for the current.
What is a series circuit?
The type of insulator that usually covers a wire?
What is plastic?
The device used to ground the person working on electronic equipment.
What is the anti-static strap?
The electricity is turned into light energy.
What is radiant energy?
A current flowing through a wire creates this.
What is an magnetic field?
There is more than one pathway for electric energy to flow.
What is a parallel circuit?
The rate at which energy flows depends on it.
What is resistance?
The phenomenon caused by the neutralization of charge.
What is static shock?
They are almost always in household appliances.
What are the three types of energy?
Wrapping a wire around an iron nail is an example of this.
What is a simple electromagnet?
