Circuits and electromagnets
The two types of circuits
What is an Open and Closed circuit
Does not let electricity flow through this material
What is an insulator
The transfer of negatively charged particles between materials is
Static Electricity
The variable that the scientist changes
Independent Variable
Plugging in a fan or a lamp to an outlet is an example of this kind of energy
What is electrical energy
Electricity does not flow through this type of circuit
What is an open circuit
Water is an example of
Conductor
One example of static electricity in nature is
What is Lightning
Another name for a sound wave
Compression Wave
Heat energy is another name for this type of energy
Thermal Energy
Battery (dry cell), wire, lightbulb, switch
What are parts needed to make a circuit
All metals such as copper, nails, and aluminum foil are types of
Conductors
This causes your hair to stick to a balloon or clothes to stick together out of the dryer
Static Electricity
A pencil bending in water
Refraction
A lamp gives off this type of energy
Radiant energy
The more coils an electromagnet has the stronger the magnet. (True or False)
True
When changing a lightbulb I wore rubber gloves before changing it. The rubber gloves acted as a
Insulator (protection from electric shock)
Static Electricity can be made by
rubbing feet on the ground then touching a conductor, rubbing balloon against hair or wall, etc.
High Amplitude, High Energy, and _____ Pitch, ____ Wavelength
High, Short
Solar panels turn radiant energy into...
What is electrical energy
The three pieces needed to make an electromagnet
Battery, copper wire, nail
The outside of a lemon or an orange would be a conductor (True or False)
False
Static electricity is a gradual release of energy (true or false)
False
The number of one species in an ecosystem is called
A microwave transforms electrical energy into thermal energy. What evidence do you have that the energy is transformed?
The food in the microwave is hot.
