Atoms
The tiny little parts that make up all matter (all living and nonliving things on the planet)?
What are atoms?
These four parts make up an electric circuit.
What are battery, wire, switch, bulb/ resistor?
This is is the build-up of electrical charges on an object.
What is static electricity?
Created the lightning rod.
Who is Ben Franklin?
This makes a magnetic field by using electricity.
What is an electromagnet?
In an atom, the subatomic particle carries a positive charge.
What is a proton?
This current path is COMPLETE and allows electricity to flow.
What is closed?
When you rub two items together, these can move from one atom to another atom.
What are electrons?
Who is Michael Faraday?
This kind of circuit has MORE THAN ONE PATH for electricity to follow and is used in our buildings.
What is a parallel circuit?
In an atom, this subatomic particle carries a negative charge.
What is an electron?
This material ALLOWS electricity to flow.
What is a conductor?
This charge is created when atoms gain an electron.
What is negative?
Who is Thomas Edison?
Examples include: washing machines, doorbells, vacuums, headphones, magnetic locks, MRI machines, motors....
What is powered by an electromagnet?
In an atom, this subatomic particle carries no charge (neutral).
What is a neutron?
This material STOPS the flow of electricity.
What is an insulator?
This is nature's release of static electricity.
What is lightning?
Created an affordable, long lasting carbon filliment.
Who is Lewis Howard Lattimer?
This kind of circuit has ONE PATH for electricity to follow.
What is a series circuit?
Protons and neutrons reside here in an atom.
What is the nucleus?
This means the current path is NOT COMPLETE and electricity CAN'T FLOW.
What is open?
Discovered lightning is a form of electricity.
Who is Ben Franklin?
AC (alternating current) was his greatest contribution to electricity we use everyday.
Who is Nikola Tesla?
This is one thing you should do/not do to ensure you use electricity safely.
AMV--
Keep all electric stuff away from water.
Don't plug in many things into one outlet.
Don't play near transformer boxes.
Don't fly kites/ drones near electric wires.
