This creates electricity by this "equation"
Mechanical Force+Electrical Energy= Electricity
What is a generator?

Explain the purpose of a diode within the circuit.
A diode controls the flow of electricity. Diodes allow electricity to only flow in one direction. The electrons can either flow correctly to allow the circuit to work or the opposite function.

This object needs a north and south pole to create a magnetic field.
What is a magnet?

Why do we use schematics to draw circuits?
Schematics are used to "map" a circuit so that viewers (electricians) are aware of the various components that are in the circuit.
300
A diode that will produce light when current flows through it.
What is a LED?

What does an electromagnet have to have in order to work?
What is an electric current?

In which direction does electricity have to flow?
What is negative to positive?

Identify the characteristics of series, parallel, and combination electrical circuits.
Series=one pathway for electrons to travel.
Parallel= 2 or more pathways for electrons to travel.
Combination= contains both a series and parallel arrangement
400
A mechanical device used to connect (on) or disconnect (off) a component or circuit.
What is a switch?

Explain why the nail became the magnet in our electromagnet project?
What is the nail was wrapped around the nail. Once the wires were attached to the battery the electric current conducted through the wire and created an electromagnet.

Name the role of protons, neutrons, and electrons?
What is protons=+
Electrons= -
Neutrons= no charge

What is the definition of electricity?
What is the flow of electrons?

How are motors and generators the same? Different?
Motors and generators are both used to produce electricity. They are different in the ways that they produce the electricity.

Explain why someone wearing wool socks can be shocked when touching a metal doorknob?
What is the build up of electrons on the human's body are transferred from the body to the doorknob and produces static.
