100
The colour of a star that is fairly hot. (Around 6000 C)
What is yellow?
100
1. Objects with like charges attract each other 2. Neutral objects and charged objects attract 3. Objects with like charges repel each other
What is the fundamental law of electric charge. (The 3 fundamental laws of electric charge, but I think Mr.Geddert prefers the former.)
100
Something that converts electrical energy into some other form.
What is a load?
100
The lights all go out if one bulb burns out in this type of circuit.
What is a series circuit?
100
A device that can be used to measure voltage, current, resistance, and sometimes other things.
What is a multimeter?
200
A super compact, super dense object.
What is a black hole?
200
The method of charging that charges the object with the opposite charge.
What is charging by induction?
200
The flow of negative charges (electrons) in a circuit, from the negative to positive electrodes.
What is electron current?
200
The voltage across resistor 2 when the total voltage is 3V, in a parallel circuit.
What is 3V?
200
The type of circuit where adding resistors lowers the overall resistance.
What is parallel circuits?
300
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus
What is the gas giants?
300
The amount of force that charged objects exert on one another depends on these 2 things.
What is the amount of charge on the objects and the distance between the objects?
300
The difference in potential energy per coulomb of charge, between two points.
What is potential difference or "voltage"?
300
The rate at which energy is converted from one form to another.
What is power?
300
The way you have to connect an ammeter to a circuit.
What is in series/in line?
400
Star's lives depend on how fast they use this.
What is hydrogen?
400
When you bring a charged object near a neutral insulator this happens.
What is polarization?
400
The substance that conducts electricity in a electrochemical cell.
What is electrolyte?
400
The practical formula for power.
What is P=VI, (power equals voltage times current)
400
The name of our physics teacher.
What is Mr.Geddert? (Larry Geddert... :D)
500
When the core of a high mass star collapses in a dramatic, powerful explosion.
What is a supernova?
500
The reason positive charge occurs on an object.
What is the shortage of electrons?
500
The effect resistance has on the flow of electrons and electrical energy.
What is limits(reduces) the flow of electrons and converts electrical energy into other forms of energy?
500
The unit of measurement for power that power companies use to charge you with.
What is kilowatt-hours?
500
The resistance of a circuit when V=13V and I=1A.
What is 13 Ohms (I would put the Omega, but I don't have the symbols option here.)
