Static Electricity
Static charges form because ___________ move away from atoms
Electrons
Current is measured in ______________
Amperes (A)
What is a circuit
A path that controls the flow of electricity
What is one electrical safety tip?
Do not overload circuits
Do not use damage cords or wires
Keep water away from outlets/electronics
etc.
Electrolyte is in the form of a paste which is sealed.
Dry cell
What is Static Electricity
A build-up of electric charge with a single discharge
Voltage is measured in _______________
Volts (V)
A Circuit usually includes 3 things. What are those 3 things
1. conductor
2. Energy source
3. load
A thin piece of metal that is designed to melt if too much current passes through it
Fuse
Electrolyte is in the form of a liquid, usually an acid.
Wet Cell
Why is a neutral object attracted to a charged object?
the charged object causes the neutral object to move, creating an attraction.
What is an example of current
A 60 w lightbulb has a current of 0.5A
Bluetooth speaker= 1-2A
Dishwasher= 10 A
One complete path that allows current to flow
series
________ Have a special wire that heats up if there is too much current.
Circuit breaker
A liquid or paste which conducts electricity.
Electrolyte
What is the difference between an Electrical current and Van De Graaff generator?
Electric current is the steady flow of electrons, while Van De Graff generator builds up static electricity
What is an example of Voltage
cars=12 volt electrical sysytem
Wall sockets =120 V
There is more than one path for current to flow
Parallel Circuit
If Electricity can find another path such as through a person to the ground, then it will take that path.
Short circuit
A conductor is usually a metal which is either positively or negatively charged.
Electrodes
Positive subatomic particles are called______________________
Protons
What is Electrical Energy
Energy Carried by charged particles
Which symbol is drawn on the board?
fuse
What is more dangerous, high current or high voltage?
High current
Coating a metal through the flow of electricity
Electroplating
