Conductor
A continuous unbroken path through which electricity CAN flow?
Circuit
The area of magnetic force around a magnet is called the ______ _____.
Magnetic Field
Which unit measured how much current flows through a given part of a circuit in one second?
Volt
A liquid or paste substance that conducts electricity
Electrolyte
Uses a magnet to convert motion into electrical energy
Generator
A very small circuit with all the parts built into it
Integrated circuit
A ______ is a material that can work as a conductor or as an insulator.
Semiconductor
Which unit measures power, or how fast work is done?
Watt
Occurs when a circuit and a power source allows electrons to move
Current electricity
A material through which electricity CANNOT flow
Insulator
Has multiple paths for the flow of electricity
Parallel circuit
Both ______ and ______ magnets and static electricity can attract and repel objects.
Magnets and Static
Which unit measures the amount of electrical push, or force, in a circuit?
Volt
_____ devices can communicate information, but electrical devices cannot.
Electronic
A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
Conductor
Has only ONE path for the flow of electricity
Series circuit
If someone has fallen onto a high voltage electric fence and is getting shocked, is it safer for rescuers to use a metal pole or a wooden stick to pull them away from the fence? Explain your answer.
The wooden stick would be safer. Metal is a conductor and would allow the electricity to flow through, where as the wooden stick serves as an insulator.
Who discovered that adding a metal core to a coil of wire increased the magnetism?
William Sturgeon
A battery works as a result of a chemical reaction and the movement of_______.
Electrons
A material that reduces the flow of electricity
Resistor
_______ signals information by opening and closing electrical circuits in sequences.
Integrated circuits
Describe one way magnetism produces electricity
Moving a magnet around or through a loop of wire produces electricity in the wire.
Moving a wire between the north and south poles of two magnets also produces electricity in the wire.
Which two people discovered that moving a magnet around or through a loop of wire produces electricity in the wire?
Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday
_____ _____ is produced when charges build up on the surface of an object.
Static electricity
