What is static electricity?
The symbol for a bulb
What is a circle with an X through it?
These types of materials are conductors
What are metals?
The unit for voltage
What is V?
The force that causes electrons to transfer between materials
What is friction?
Where electrons gather on the generator
What is the metal sphere/dome?
The symbol for a cell
What are two lines?
Materials that do not allow electrons to flow freely
What is an insulator?
The energy given to electrons by the battery
What is voltage?
What is positive?
The part of the machine that moves electrons to the metal dome
What is the rubber belt?
The movement of electrons through a conductor
What is current electricity?
Materials that allow electrons to move from place to place
What is a conductor?
How a voltmeter must be attached to a circuit
What is parallel?
Electrons cause these as they jump between materials
What are sparks or shocks?
When someone touches the dome their hair lifts due to this
What is repel/repulsion?
What current electricity moves through
What is a circuit?
Materials that hold metal in place and protect people and the surroundings of the conductor from getting a shock
What is an insulator?
How can voltage be increased in a circuit
What is adding more power?
Two items with the same charge are placed together
What is repel?
Where the electrons come from in the generator
What is the roller or comb at the bottom of the machine?
The two things needed to make electricity flow
What are a complete circuit and power supply?
A circuit that has had an insulator added
What is an incomplete circuit?
How voltage is divided in series circuits
What is between components?
