Electricity 1
This is the movement or flow of electrons.
What is electricity?
An object that attracts certain metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt.
What is a magnet?
A negatively charged particle that orbits the atom.
What are electrons?
This is the name for the path through which electricity can flow.
What is a circuit?
The energy source that pushes the electric current around a circuit.
What is a battery?
What is a material that allows electricity to flow?
What is a conductor?
The end of a magnet that attracts the north pole.
What is south pole?
A positively charged particle that is found in an atom's nucleus.
What is a proton?
A circuit with a complete path that allows electricity to flow.
What is a closed circuit?
A device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit.
What is a switch?
A material that doesn’t allow electricity to flow.
What is an insulator?
These are the three types of magnets.
What are permanent magnets, electromagnets, and temporary magnets?
A neutrally charged particle that is found in an atom's nucleus.
What is a neutron?
A circuit that has only one path for the electricity to flow.
What is a series circuit?
A circuit that has more than one path for the electricity to flow.
What is a parallel circuit?
Unlike charges (positive and negative) do this.
What is attract?
The invisible area around a magnet where magnetic force works.
What is magnetic field?
This is the charge of an atom that has more electrons than protons.
What is negative?
What is a material that doesn’t allow electricity to flow?
What is an insulator?
A circuit with an incomplete path that does not allow electricity to flow.
What is an open circuit?
When an electric charge builds up on an object.
What is static electricity?
A material that can be turned into a magnet.
What is ferromagnetic?
This is the charge of an atom that has more protons than electrons.
What is positive?
What is a device that uses electricity in a circuit?
The negatively charged electrode by which electrons enter an electrical device.
What is cathode?
