What is neutral?
200
North and south poles do this
What is attract

this is a path in which electric charges can flow.
What is an circuit.
200

This is the unit of electric current.

What is amperage or AMPS?

200

Airpods can charge using this term

What is induction?

300
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?
300
This is the reason magnets might repel each other.
What is like poles.

400
An electric charge in motion. (electrons in motion usually in a wire)
What is an electric current?
400

These three factors affect the strength of magnetic forces.

What are strength, size, distance....

400

Name at least 2 things that could stop the flow of electricity because they are insulators.

500

In a parallel circuit what is the same for each of the components (for example 20 light bulbs in parallel)?

What is the same voltage at each bulb?

500
