What would happen if the north ends of two magnets were close together?
What is repel?
100

The flow of electricity.

What is a current?

100
Is a circuit open or closed if you haven't turned on the switch?
What is open?
100
What is a material that lets electric current pass through?
What is a conductor?

True or False: An electromagnet is a permanent magnet.
What is False? An electromagnet can be turned on or off. Once the circuit is broken, the magnetism is lost.

True or False: All magnets have the same shape and size.
What is False?
300

Is a measure of the amount of electrical energy supplied to each charge.

What is a voltage?

300
What part of a circuit does electrical energy change from one form to another?
What is a load (lightbulb)? This is where the energy changes to produce heat or light.
300
Which of these materials is not a conductor: copper, aluminum, gold, or wood?
What is wood?
300
True or False: A refrigerator magnet is a permanent magnet.
What is True? Even when you take it off the refrigerator, it is still magnetic.
400
True or False: All magnets have a north and south pole.
What is True?
400

A device used for generating electricity through an electrochemical reaction.

What is a battery?

400
True or False: When you turn on a light, the switch is opening the circuit.
What is False? A switch closes the circuit to turn on the light.
400
Which of these materials is a conductor: rubber, glass, air, silver?

An electromagnet must be part of an electrical ______.
What is circuit?
500
Will a magnet attract copper, rubber, iron, or plastic?
What is iron?
500

A safety device used in a circuit to prevent overloading.

What is a fuse?

500

One path (loop) for electricity through all loads. If one bulb or battery is disconnected, the circuit will not work.

What is a series circuit?

500
True or False: Pure water is a conductor.
What is False? The salts and other materials in water are conductors though. So, don't mix water with an electrical circuit!!!!
