Lightning is a naturally occurring example of which type of electricity?
Static electricity
The image below resembles which type of circuit (Hint: organization of loads)?
Parallel
What letter is used to represent the current in Ohm's Law?
I
Non-renewable energy sources are defined as such due to the long length of time that it takes for them to be replenished naturally. True or False?
True
Based on the photo below, what is the balloon?
Negatively charged
Static electricity is a contact force.
True or False?
False
In a circuit, what is the object that takes in and uses the electrons?
Load
When you know the current and the voltage, which variable are you looking for in Ohm's law?
Resistance
Name one renewable energy source.
Hydroelectric, tidal, solar, etc.
Using the electrostatic series, which item/ material would hold the highest number of electrons when charged?
Ebonite
What is the name for items that are greatly able to assist in the transfer of electrons inside a circuit? Name one example.
Conductors
Example: gold, copper, silver, coin, aluminum, etc.
In a circuit, what item can allow or prevent the flow of electrons?
Switch
What is the formula used when solving for current using Ohm's Law?
I = V / R
The majority of electricity sources, renewable and non-renewable, are powered using which form of energy?
Kinetic
What would happen to the hairs on your head if all of them were positively charged?
When electrons flow inside a circuit, what way do they flow?
From the negative side/ terminal of the battery to the positive side/ terminal.
When a circuit is considered "open" what does this mean?
The circuit is incomplete and does not allow for electron flow. (A switch is off/ disconnected or there is not a completed set of wiring/ conductors allowing for electricity flow)
What form of measurement represents the pressure pushing electrons through a circuit?
Voltage
What is the name of the object that turns in order to produce electricity in most renewable and non-renewable sources?
Turbine
When an object gains electrons from touching something that is negatively charged, what type of charging is this?
Conduction
Explain the process of static electricity.
Static charge, or electrons, build up on one surface and stay there until they are given an opportunity to release, or discharge onto an opposingly charged or neutral surface.
Based on the circuit below, determine the three descriptive words that can be used to describe the layout, contents, and completion of the circuit.
Series, open, and controlled
Solve the following equation. You MUST use units.
What is the current produced by a voltage of 120 volts through a resistance of 0.5 Ω?
240 amperes/ amps
What is emitted as a byproduct of hydrogen fuel cell energy?
Water (H2O)
What is the process called AND what is the special wire used to reduce excess electrons?
Grounding and ground wire
