list 2 renewable resources used to produce energy
oil, coal, natural gas
the ends of a magnet are called
poles
explain the difference between conductor and insulator
conductor produces electricity
insulator holds electricity/protects us
give 1 advantage that parallel circuits have over series circuits
parallel circuits have more than 1 pathway for electricity to travel
solar
the 3 elements that have magnetic characteristics
Fe, Ni, Co
lightning is an example of
static discharge
give an example of a parallel circuit
what uses coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, and wind to produce electrical energy
power plant
list 3 everyday items that use electromagnetism
hard drives, credit card scanners, atms, hotel key cards, bark collars, headphones
how does static electricity work
electrons build up on/lost from object which causes the object to become electrically charged
draw and label a parallel circuit
should have 2 bulbs and a battery; 2 wires coming from 1 bulb
explain how a toaster works
toaster converts electrical energy from the plug in the outlet into thermal energy that cooks your food
