These are one example of power sources

What is a battery or a wall outlet?

100
This device opens and closes an electric circuit
What is a switch?
100

Unit for measuring potential difference.

Volt

100
A path that a current can flow on
What is a circuit?
200

An electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current

resistor

200
Does the circuit need to be open or closed for electrons to flow?
What is closed?
200

Why something have static cling.

Attraction of positive and negative particles. 

200

A branch in a circuit with zero or very low resistance

short circuit

300

a switch that opens when it detects too much current

breaker

300
The circuit is open when the switch is in this position
What is the "off" position?
300

When something has no charge. 

Neutral

300
This circuit can take different routes to light a bulb
What is a parallel circuit?
400

A safety device with a thin metal strip that will melt if too much current passes through a circuit

fuse

400
This is why appliances need switches as well
What is, to complete an electric circuit?
400

the transfer of excess charge through a conductor to Earth

grounding

400
This circuit will not light up the other bulbs if one is out of place or goes out
What is a series circuit?
500

A mini circuit breaker that will stop the flow of electricity in the event of a short or contact with water

GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter)

500
A steady flow of electricity
What is a current?
500
This is an example of static electricity
What is lightning?
500
Energy moves in a complete circle; from the power source, to the load, then back to the opposite side of the power source.
What is a complete circuit?
