Electric Charges and their movement
This subatomic particle flows through the wire when an electric field is present.
What is an electron?
This is the object that closes and opens the current in a circuit.
What is a switch.
If you sprinkle iron filings over a bar magnet, you will see this pattern emerge.
What is magnetic field?
Static electricity can only build up on this type of material that doesn't easily pass electrons through it.
insulator (NOT CONDUCTOR)
This is a path in which electric charges can flow.
What is an electric circuit?
Batteries produce electric current, which is measured in what SI unit?
What is V or voltage
Lightning is an example of this type of electricity.
Static discharge or static electricity
Name things (2) that electrons flow easily through. Examples
What is wire, metal poles, anything metal.
Give me an example of something that is a series circuit. Explain how it is a works and why it is a series!
What is older Christmas lights. Accept any other answer that is true.
If you drag your feet across the carpet and touch someone, they might get a shock. What did you transfer from the carpet to that person?
What is static charge or extra electrons.
Name at least 2 things that could slow the flow of electrons in a circuit.
wood plastic rubber
In this circuit, devices are connected so there is only 1 closed path for current to follow.
What is series?
Explain how you could make the magnetic force between two magnets weaker and stronger.
What is pull them closer (stronger) and farther apart (weaker).
In a lightning storm, what is the safest place to be?
Indoors, away from conducting materials.
Why do lights go out when the switch is in the "off" position?
The circuit is open; there is no complete pathway for electrons to flow.
This is a circuit where there is more than one closed path for a current to follow.
What is parallel circuit?
What common machine used electricity and magnets to cause motion and do work?
What is an electric motor?
