What is a circuit called when charge moves through it continuously?

Closed circuit

100

Provides the 'push' to move charge around a circuit. 

Power source, cell, battery

200
What are the two kinds of charge?
Positive and negative
200
Only electrons move to create imbalances of negative or positive charge. True or False
True

What is a material called that allows charge to move freely through it?

A conductor

200

What what is the type of circuit where the components (LED's, fan, etc.) are connected end-to-end to form a single path for current flow. 

Series

300

What is the flow of charge particles?

Electrical current

300
When an object has lost electrons is it positively or negatively charged?
Positively charged
300

What is a material called that does not allow charge to move freely through it?

Insulator

What is an object that has a balance of protons and electrons called?

Neutral.

500

What is one non-metal that is a good conductor?

Carbon (graphite)... as in the lead of a pencil.

500

Why does electricity not go through an open circuit?

The gap in the circuit prevents electrons from flowing.
