Atoms
The tiny little parts that make up all matter (all living and nonliving things on the planet)?
What are atoms?
This current path is COMPLETE and allows electricity to flow.
What is closed?
This material ALLOWS electricity to flow.
What is a conductor?
Invented the lightning rod.
Who is Ben Franklin?
Hydro Power
What is energy created using running water?
In an atom, the subatomic particle carries a positive charge.
What is a proton?
This means the current path is NOT COMPLETE and electricity can't flow.
What is open?
This material STOPS the flow of electricity.
What is an insulator?
Who is Michael Faraday?
Solar Power
What is energy created using the sun?
In an atom, this subatomic particle carries a negative charge.
What is an electron?
This kind of circuit has ONE PATH for electricity to follow.
What is a series circuit?
Copper
What is an example of a conductor?
Who is Thomas Edison?
Keeping all electrical things dry and away from water.
What is an example of how to use electricity safely?
In an atom, this subatomic particle carries no charge (neutral).
What is a neutron?
This kind of circuit has MORE THAN ONE PATH for electricity to follow and is used in our buildings.
What is a parallel circuit?
Rubber
What is an example of an insulator?
Created an affordable, long lasting carbon filliment.
Who is Lewis Howard Lattimer?
Using a frayed cord.
What is an example of how NOT to use electricity safely?
Protons and neutrons reside here in an atom.
What is the nucleus?
These four parts make up an electric circuit.
What are battery, wire, switch, bulb/ resistor?
This makes a magnetic field by using electricity.
What is an electromagnet?
AC (alternating current) was his greatest contribution to electricity we use everyday.
Who is Nikola Tesla?
Washing machine, refrigerator, and vacuum are examples.
What use electromagnets?
