Forms of Electricity
100
The movement of electrons through a circuit.
What is electricity?
100
When electrons are gained or lost.
What is static electricity?
100
This type of circuit has only one path for electrons to move through.
What is a series circuit?
100

A flashlight, a toaster, a blow dryer and a laptop are all examples of this.

What is a load?

100

This type of electricity uses water to generate power.

What is Hydro Electricity?

200
Materials that allow the flow or movement of electrons.
What are conductors?
200

The type of metal that is the most conductive.

What is silver?

200
Homes, schools, and other buildings are wired with these types of circuits.
What are parallel circuits.
200

The sun, wind and water are energy sources that can be used more than once. They are known as this. 

What is renewable energy?

200

This electricity source is inexpensive and creates electricity when a fossil fuel is burned.

What is Coal?

300
The build up of electrons on the surface of an object.
What is static electricity?
300

This sector consumes the largest annual portion of electricity.

What is the industrial sector?

300
A circuit with two paths for the electrons to move through.
What is a parallel circuit?
300

At the battery station, the buzzer would not make noise when the switch was open for this reason.

What is the circuit was incomplete? Or What is the energy cannot flow through the whole circuit?

300

This form of electricity relies on the conversion of the sun's light and heat to produce power.

What is Solar?

400
These make up the nucleus of an atom.
What are neutrons and protons?
400
As people walk across the carpet they gain these and later release them when they touch an object.
What are electrons?
400
An example of this circuit is Christmas tree lights, because if one light goes out, all the lights go out.
What is a series circuit?
400

A fork, a can, and a coin are all classified as this.

What are conductors?

400

This form of electricity uses the heat found in the Earth's crust to produce energy.

What is Geothermal?

500
Rubber, plastic and glass are examples of these.
What are insulators?
500
Objects become better conductors of electricity when they get....
What is wet?
500
These three things are needed for a simple circuit.
What is a battery, a light bulb, and leads/wires.
500

An item with 16 protons, 12 electrons, and 40 neutrons has this electrical charge.

What is a positive charge?

500

This form of electricity is produced when organic material is burned and the steam powers a turbine, making electricity. 

What is Biomass?
