Who invented the lightbulb?

Thomas Edison

200
What kind of charge does an electron have?
A negative charge.
200
What is a resistor?
A material that slows or resists, but doesn't stop the flow of the current.
200
What two parts attract each other?
Positive and negative.

What kind of charge does a neutron have?
A neutral charge.
300
What is a series circuit?
A circuit that has only one path for the current.
300

How do we get electricity?
When an electron moves to a different atom, it causes another electron to have to move. When electrons move quickly from one atom to another it makes electricity.
500
What is an electric current?
