CHARGES
These are negatively charged particles.
What are electrons?
The flow of an electric charge that moves from one place to another is called this.
What is electric current?
The energy that a power source gives to electrons in a circuit.
What is voltage?
This is an electric power source with a dry or pastelike center.
What is dry cell battery?
The piece of metal o the top of the fuse is designed to do this at a certain temperature.
What is melt?
The movement of electrons is the basis of this.
What is electricity?
This is the unit used to describe how much electric current flows through a wire.
What is ampere?
An incomplete or broken path for electric current.
What is open circuit?
Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to prevent these.
What are fires?
This is a circuit in which there is more than one path for current.
What is a parallel circuit?
This is the buildup of electrical charges. Walking across the carpet caused electrons to leave the carpet and enter your body.
What is static electricity?
This is a path for electric current.
What is a circuit?
A diagram that uses symbols to show the parts of a circuit.
What is schematic diagram?
This is a switchlike device that can be reset after the circuit has been repaired.
What is circuit breaker?
When several bulbs are connected in parallel, all the bulbs will do this.
What is remain as bright as just one bulb alone would?
The atom that loses the electron becomes charged in this way.
What is positively charged?
This is a complete, unbroken path for electric current.
What is a closed circuit?
A circuit in which all current flows through a single path. All electrons must pass through each electrical device.
What is series circuit?
In a flashlight, dry cell batteries are usually connected this way.
What is in series?
Compared to a series circuit, the battery in a parallel circuit will last this long.
What is NOT as long as a series circuit?
This is a discharge of static electricity between clouds or between a cloud and Earth.
What is lightning?
A metric unit used to measure electromotive force.
What is volt?
If one light in a series circuit is unscrewed or burns out, all of the other lights will do this.
What is go out?
When batteries are connected in series, the circuit's total voltage is the of this.
What is the voltage of the cells?
When more electrical devices are added to the same parallel circuit, more current runs through the circuit, and as current in the circuit increases, this happens to the wires.
What is heat up?
