Ions
200
What has more resistance thick or thin wire?
Thin
200

Coal, hydroelectric, natural gas, nuclear power, wind
200
What are 3 examples of insulators
Plastic, rubber, wood
300

300
What happens when you add more lightbulbs to a series circuit
The lights dim
300
What is a parallel circuit
there are at least two ways that electrons can flow around the circuit and get back to the source.
300
Draw the difference between a series and parallel circuit
300
A=Insulator
B=Conductor
400
the farther apart the charges are the ____ they attract and/or repulse one another
Less
400
What is more dangerous, High currents or high voltage.
High currents
400
What does a transformer do
Changes electricity from high to low voltage
400
What does a capacitor do
It stores some charge so the light can work after the battery is unplugged
400
Why does an electrical wire have plastic or rubber on the outside?
Metal allows for conduction through, but not out of the insulated wire. It keeps the charge flowing in a specific direction.
500
Do static charges remain on an object forever? Explain
No, they will dissipate to another object (air, table, door handle)
500
As things are added to a series circuit, what remains the same and what reduces
In series circuits the current remains the same, but the voltage is reduced on each thing that is added to the circuit
500
Your electricity bill is the measure of _____ _______ usage
kilowatt hours
500
What is the catalyst in a battery?
Acid
