Static Vs. Current
What is Static electricty?
The buildup of charges that rapidly release
Which circuit has only 1 path of electricity?
Series Circuit
What is a Switch?
The device that can open or close a circuit
What is the Formula for Voltage?
V= I x R
What charge does an electron have?
Negative
What is Current Electricity?
Electricity that flows through a circuit
Which circuit has multiple paths of electricity?
Parallel Circuit
Four things needed for a basic circuit
Battery, Wire, Power Source, Switch
What does the I stand for in Ohm's Law
Current
What is a Conductor?
Material that allows electricity to flow through it
Lightning is an example of this type of electricity.
Static electricity?
In a parallel Circuit, if there are 3 light bulbs and I replace one with a wire. What will happen to the other 2 light bulbs
They will get brighter because the current increases
Why are wires covered in rubber?
The rubber is an insulator and protects us from shocks/ fires
If I increase my voltage, what will happen to my current?
What is an insulator?
Material that blocks electricity
Current is measured in this unit.
What are amps?
If a circuit has an open switch, will the electricity flow, why or why not?
It will not because the switch is "off" meaning there is no connection
What does it mean for something to be inversely proportional
They are opposites. One increases, One decreases
What direction do positive field lines go
Away/Outwards
This device provides energy to a circuit.
What is a battery (cell)?
A battery is also known as a....
Cell
What can a lightbulb also be considered?
A resistor
