Electric (electron) movement
Going With the Flow
Circuits & Vocab
100
The tiny building blocks of everything. They're tiny and they're teeny!
What are atoms?
100
This subatomic particle flows through the wire when an electric field is present.
What is an electron
100
What is the thing that closes and opens the current in a circuit.
What is a switch.
200
The same number of positive particles as negative particles.
What is neutral?
200
this is a path in which electric charges can flow.
What is an circuit.
200
This is the SI unit of electric current.
What is V or voltage
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
Name things (2) that electrons flow easily through. Examples
What is wire, metal poles, anything metal.
300

This is a measure of the amount of electrical energy transferred by an electric charge as it moves from one point to another in a circuit.

What is voltage

400
An electric charge in motion. (electrons in motion usually in a wire)
What is an electric current?
400
Name at least 2 things that could slow the flow of electrons in a circuit.
wood plastic rubber
400
In this circuit, devices are connected so there is only 1 closed path for current to follow.
