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 the build-up of electrical charges on an object.
What is static electricity?
This makes a magnetic field by using electricity.
What is an electromagnet?
This is one thing Ben Franklin discovered using a kite and key.
What is lightning is a form of electricity?
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?
This kind of circuit has MORE THAN ONE PATH for electricity to follow and is used in our buildings.
What is a parallel circuit?
This is what Edison patented that lights up our homes.
What is the light bulb?
In an atom, this subatomic particle carries a negative charge.
What is an electron?
This material ALLOWS electricity to flow.
What is a conductor?
In magnetism, this means to push away from.
What is repel?
Examples include: washing machines, doorbells, vacuums, headphones, magnetic locks, MRI machines, motors....
What is powered by an electromagnet?
This is what Bell patented that allows us to talk to others far away.
What is the telephone?
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?
This kind of circuit has ONE PATH for electricity to follow.
What is a series circuit?
This was what Latimer patented that contributed to the modern light bulb.
What is the carbon filament?
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?
This charge is created when atoms gain an electron.
What is negative?
This is something you should do/not do to ensure you use electricity safely.
What is...
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.
This was Tesla's greatest contribution to electricity we use everyday.
What is AC (alternating current)?
