Electric (electron) movement
A circuit must be in this shape for the electrons to flow freely.
What is a closed loop?
This type of energy creates electricity by collecting the sun's rays on specialized panels that turn the heat into electricity.
What is solar energy?
This is how 2 neutral objects become charged.
What is by rubbing them together?
What is the thing that closes and opens the current in a circuit.
What is a switch.
This material is burned to create heat, to boil water. The steam then turns a turbine that creates electricity.
What is coal?
What is they attract?
When the positive and negative charges no longer balance. This is when negative charges are built up much more than positive.
What is static electricity?
Name 2 things that easily let electrons pass through.
What is wire, metal poles, anything metal?
Something that stops the flow of electricity.
What is an insulator?
As water flows through a dam, it turns a turbine that generates electricity.
What is hydro electricity?
This is what happens when 2 objects with the same charge are put close together.
What is they repel?
Name at least 2 things that could slow the flow of electrons in a circuit.
wood plastic rubber etc.
Electric Current move easily in these.
What are conductors?
This atmostpheric change causes a turbine to spin, which turns a generator to create electricity.
What is wind?
This device uses static electricity to attract ink to a paper.
What is a photocopier?
Electricity always flows in this direction.
What is from the negative to the positive?
This is the base unit of electrical current.
What is an ampere or amp?
This part of a circuit diagram is represented by a circle with an x in it.
What is a lightbulb?
This reaction causes fission of a nucleus of an atom. That fission lets off heat, which is used to boil water. The steam then turns a turbine that generates electricity.
What is nuclear power?
What is ground yourself by touching metal?
