Circuits
This is the material that easily allows the flow of electric charges. This gives very little resistance to the flow of a charge. Examples are metals like copper and aluminum, etc. Real-life examples are a metal spoon, coin, paper clip, and a pencil.
What is a conductor?
This is created when electric charges run thru a wire; also known as a flow of charge thru a material.
What is an electric current?
The energy caused by the flow of electrons.
What is electricity?
Negative charges attract these.
What are positive charges?
These are the ends of the magnet where the magnetic effect is the strongest.
What are magnetic poles?
These do not allow for the flow of electric charges through them. Examples are glass, plastic, certain rubber material, cloth.
What are insulators?
This is produced by an electric current.
What is a magnetic field?
All matter is made up of this.
What are atoms?
Negative charges repel these.
What are negative charges?
This is the region around a magnet that is affected by the magnet.
What are the magnetic fields?
This has only one path for the electric charges to flow.
What is a series circuit?
This is made when an electric current goes through a coil of wire around a nail.
What is a magnet?
A buildup of electrical charges on an object or material.
What is static electricity?
Positive charges repel these.
What are positive charges?
Magnetic fields are strongest at these.
What are the poles?
This has more than one path for the electric charges to flow.
What is a parallel circuit?
This is a complete path through which electric current can flow.
What is an electric current?
The flow of electrical charges through a circuit.
What is current electricity?
These charges attract.
What are opposite charges?
These are materials that become magnetized while in contact with strong magnets.
What is a temporary magnet?
All circuits must have these 3 parts.
What is wires, a source, and a load?
All current electricity needs a pathway for electric charges to flow called this.
What is a circuit?
This is a loss of static electricity.
What is electric discharge?
These charges repel.
These are materials that maintain their magnetism when the magnet is removed from them.
What is a permanent magnet?
