100
The flow of electrons.
What is electricity?
100
This prevents electrons from flowing.
What is an insulator?
100
The creator of the incandescent light bulb.
Who is Thomas Edison?
100
This unit measures how much energy is flowing through a circuit.
What is current or amps?
100
Like poles repel. Opposites...
What is attract?
200
The outside particles of an atom.
What is an electron?
200
These are usually metals that allow electrons to move from one place to another.
What is a conductor?
200
The creator of the gas-filled bulb.
Who is Nikola Tesla?
200
This slows down the electrons in a circuit. It's strength is shown with colored bands.
What is a resistor?
200
These are what allow a material to be magnetized by aligning themselves.
What are magnetic domains?
300
The charge of an electron.
What is negative?
300
If a switch is put in the "off" position of circuit, the circuit is this.
What is open?
300
The meaning of the "DC" created by Thomas Edison.
What is direct current?
300
This is the potential of energy that can flow through a circuit.
What is voltage?
300
This stone was named after a northern star the Greeks used for navigation. It contains magnetite.
What is lodestone?
400
A type of electricity that is the constant flow of electrons through a circuit.
What is current electricity?
400
This is a circuit with all the electrons flowing along the same path. If one thing goes out, everything goes out.
What is a series circuit?
400
Tesla's response to Edison's direct current.
What is alternating current?
400
This is the process of electrons sticking from one surface to another.
What is adhesion?
400
The Earth has this, and it helps to protect us from the Sun's radiation particles along with helping animals and humans with navigation.
What is a magnetic field or magnetoshpere?
500
The quick discharge of electrons.
What is static electricity?
500
This is a circuit with electrons on separate paths. If one thing goes out on the circuit, the rest of the circuit can still work.
What is a parallel circuit?
500
These are the measurements for voltage, current, and resistance. They are named after the scientists who discovered them.
What is volts, amperes, and Ohms?
500
This is the formula for finding voltage.
What is V=IxR?
500
This increases the intensity of an electromagnet. It is wire coiled around an iron core.
What is a solenoid?
