Insulator and conductors
What is an insulator?
Something that makes electricity hard to flow. examples : plastic, rubber, wood, ect.
What is an open circuit?
one in which the electrical connections are broken or disconnected
How many poles does a magnet have?
2
What is a load.
ny component of a circuit that consumes power or energy
light bulb
If a magnet is broken in half, could you put it back together?
No
What is a conductor?
a substance or material that allows electricity to flow through it. Examples : iron,metal
What is a closed circuit?
a circuit without interruption, providing a continuous path through which a current can flow.
What are the 2 poles of an magnet called?
North and south
What is a battery called in a circuit?
A cell
Are electrons negative or positive?
Negative
What are 5 insulators examples?
Pencil, paper, cotton ball, pencil pouch, ect.
What are the differences between a series circuit and parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, electricity flows through only one path, meaning the same current passes through each component, while in a parallel circuit, electricity can flow through multiple paths, with each component experiencing the same voltage across it
When using a compass, what is it getting attracted to?
Earths north magnetic pull
What is static electricty?
a buildup of charged electrons, he build up of an electrical charge on the surface of an object
What is energy's are produced from electricity.
Mechanical, heat, light
What are 4 examples of conductors?
Copper, silver, gold, iron,
What is needed to make a circuit?
Wire, load (light bulb) , battery.
Magnetic force
What is a electric current?
a flow of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space
What is an electric current?
The path for which electrons flow.
What is the difference between conductors and insulators?
A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, while an insulator is a material that resists the flow of electricity, meaning it does not allow electric current to pass through it easily
What are the names of all circuits?
Series, parallel, open, closed .
What happens when 2 of the same sides of a magnet are facing one another, and what happens when 2 different sides of a magnet are facing one another
Repel, attract
What happens when a magnet break?
It becomes 2 separate magnets
what is a Diode?
this is a semiconductor that is used to only allow the flow of electrons in one direction.
