Electricity
This is a property of a particle that causes it to attract or repel other particles...
A charge
A continuous flow of electricity is called...
Current electricity
A Series Circuit
Objects that are strongly magnetic are called ferromagnetic. Name one element that is ferromagnetic.
Iron
Nickel
Cobalt
Aluminum
Magnetite
These harness energy from the wind and create electricity
Wind turbines
These are negatively-charged particles...
Electrons
If a metal does not allow electrons to travel easily it is called an...
Insulator
A series with more than one path is called a...
Draw two magnets that would repel each other.
North - North or South - South
fossil fuels
A neutral charge
Copper and Aluminium allow electrons to flow easily. They are great.....
Conductors
If you increase the power supply, make the path shorter or find a thicker wire you are decreasing what?
The resistance
When a wire is coiled around something magnetic it can become even more magnetic. We call this an...
Electromagnet
Power plants that use running water to make electricity are called...
Hydroelectric plants
The build up of electric charges that comes from a balloon being rubbed on your hair is called what?
Static electricity
The power of electric current is measured in these..
If one bulb goes out in a series circuit, what happens to the other bulbs?
They all go out :(
Draw an electromagnet
Do you have...
Power source
Wires
Iron Nail
This power source is not expensive but must be produced in a highly controlled setting...
Nuclear energy/Nuclear power plants
Sometimes electrons are transferred between two objects. This can cause a SHOCK. What is this called?
For a bonus point...give an example
Static discharge
Example - walking across the carpet with your socks and you touch a metal doorknob.
Electricity can only flow if there is a complete, unbroken path. This path is called a ...
Circuit
Draw a parallel circuit
See Mrs. Voytal's poster!
How is an electromagnet different from a regular magnet?
A regular magnet will always be magnetic. An Electromagnet will only work as long as electric current is flowing. It will only work when it is turned "on".
These are machines that produce electricity from moving parts...
