What is current?
What are electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Voltage is the amount a pull a battery has.
What is false.
Voltage is the amount of push a battery has.
This is the standard voltage in a house.
What is 120 and 240.
In this type of circuit, there is only one path for the energy to flow.
What is an series circuit.
This is the name for the circular path of electricity
What is a circuit
This is the part of the atom that is negatively charged. Where do they reside in the atom?
What are electrons?
They "orbit" the nucleus.
A neutral charge is when the number of protons and electrons are equal.
What is TRUE.
This is a branch of engineering that studies the science of electricity to be able to APPLY it to power systems, communications, electronic devices and machinery.
What is electrical engineering?
This is the part of the circuit that opens or closes a circuit.
What is a switch
This is a force that is created when objects lose or gain electrons.
What is static energy.
This is what happens to opposite charges
They attract
A circuit that is broken is called a closed circuit.
What is FALSE.
This is the purpose of a fuse?
What is to open a circuit if wires get too hot.
This is a part of the circuit that "slows" the push of electricity but still allows it to flow.
What is a resistor.
What do you call a substance that electrons flow through easily?
What is a conductor.
This is the name for an atom with a charge
What is an ion.
A house uses direct current.
What is FLASE- alternating current, where the current can flow in two directions.
This is the configuration needed (series or parallel) for the voltage to stay the same but the current to increase
What is parrallel?
What is the voltage of two 1.5V batteries if they are lined up in series?
Daily double: name the person who discovered current electricity?
What is 3V?
Who is Volta?
This is the process where an neutral object is statically charged by another object without the objects touching.
What is induction.
This is an energy plant that uses water to produce electricity
What is a hydroelectric plant?
Light bulbs in parallel circuits are equally bright.
What is true.
This is the equation for Ohms Law.
What is voltage = resistance times current
When batteries are placed in series, what is the effect on the current and the voltage.
The voltage increases but the current stays the same.
