Static Electricity
The fundamental unit of electric charge.
What is an electron?
The formula for calculating Current (Power).
What is P=VI?
The poles of magnetism.
What is North and South?
Negative Charge
What is an electron?
The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference in temperature or electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material. Example: metal
What is Conduction?
A tool used to measure voltage.
What is a voltmeter?
The flow of electrons in a circuit.
What is electrons flow from the negative terminal of a power source, through the conductor (wire), and back to the positive terminal
Two of the same charges are brought close to one another, they immediately jump away from each other.
What is repel?
Neutral charge
What is a neutron?
The movement of particles through a substance, transporting their heat energy from hotter areas to cooler areas. Example: Oven
What is convection?
An object becomes charged when it gains or loses which atoms?
What are electrons' effects on an object?
V=IR
What is Ohm's law formula?
Materials that can be magnetized.
What is iron, nickel, cobalt, and alloys containing these elements, like steel?
Positive Charge
What is a proton?
The process by which an electrical conductor becomes electrified when near a charged body.
Example: Stovetop
What is induction?
True or False, materials can become positively or negatively charged through friction.
What is True?
What is Ohm's Law?
What is near the north and south poles?
Charges that are attracted to each other.
What is a proton and electron?
Measurement unit of an electrical current system.
What is an amperes (AMPS)?
The person credited with the discovery of the electron.
Who is Joseph John Thomson?
Is measured using an ammeter or digital multimeter (DMM) and is expressed in amperes (A) or amps.
How is current measured in a circuit?
How can you identify the north and south poles of a magnet?
What is Positive is north and Negative is south on a magnet.
A balloon has three electrons and five protons.
What is a positive charge?
Define the difference between Conductors and Insulators.
A conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily, while an insulator is a material that resists the flow of electric current.
