100
HOW MANY PATHS DOES A SERIES CIRCUIT HAVE?
What is ONE.
100
THE MEASUREMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICAL PUSH OR FORCE IN A CIRCUIT IS CALLED?
What is A VOLT.
100

THIS CIRCUIT ELEMENT PROVIDES POWER TO A CIRCUIT AND IS FOUND IN MANY HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS (E.G. REMOTE CONTROL)

What is BATTERY

100

A MATERIAL THAT DOES NOT EASILY CONDUCT ELECTRICITY IS KNOWN AS

What is AN INSULATOR

200
WHAT KIND OF CIRCUIT HAS MULTIPLE PATHS FOR THE ELECTRICITY TO FLOW?
What is A PARALLEL CIRCUIT.
200
THE WIRING IN A TYPICAL HOUSE IN THE U.S. CARRIES ___ VOLTS OF ELECTRICAL FORCE.
What is 115-120 VOLTS
200

THIS CIRCUIT ELEMENT STORES ELECTRIC POTENTIAL BETWEEN ITS CONDUCTING PLATES TO BE RELEASED AT A LATER TIME

What is A CAPACITOR

200

A MATERIAL THAT EASILY CONDUCTS ELECTRIC CURRENT IS KNOWN AS

What is A CONDUCTOR

300
HOW IS A LIGHT BULB ATTACHED TO A SERIES CIRCUIT SIMILAR TO A SWITCH?
What is THE LIGHT BULB CLOSES THE CIRCUIT AND COMPLETES THE PATH.
300
THE MEASUREMENT OF POWER, OR HOW FAST WORK IS DONE IS CALLED?
What is A WATT.
300

THIS CIRCUIT ELEMENT RESTRICTS THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS AND TENDS TO TRANSFORM ELECTRICAL ENERGY INTO HEAT

What is A RESISTOR

300

ACCORDING TO OHM'S LAW, IF YOU INCREASE THE VOLTAGE APPLIED TO A CIRCUIT THIS WILL ALSO INCREASE...

What is CURRENT

400
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE LIGHT BULBS ON A PARALLEL CIRCUIT WHEN ONE BULB BURNS OUT?
What is THEY STAY LIT.
400
THE UNIT USED TO MEASURE HOW MUCH CURRENT FLOWS THROUGH A GIVEN PART OF A CIRCUIT IN ONE SECOND IS CALLED
What is AN AMPERE.
400

THIS CIRCUIT ELEMENT PRODUCES LIGHT AT A SPECIFIC FREQUENCY AND ONLY CONDUCTS CURRENT IN ONE DIRECTION

What is A LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED)

400

THE MAGNETIC FIELD OUTSIDE OF A MAGNET IS STRONGEST AT THESE POINTS

What is THE POLES

500
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A SERIES CIRCUIT HAS A BREAK IN IT?
What is THE CIRCUIT CANNOT COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT. THE PATH OF ELECTRICITY IS BROKEN.
500
WHAT ARE THE 3 BASIC UNITS OF MEASUREMENT OF ELECTRICITY?
What is A VOLT, WATT, AND AMPERE.
500

THIS CIRCUIT COMPONENT PRODUCES A STRONG MAGNETIC FIELD WHEN CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE

What is AN ELECTROMAGNET

500

THIS UNIT IS USED BY ELECTRIC COMPANIES TO MEASURE HOW MUCH ENERGY A BUILDING IS USING

What is KILOWATT HOURS
