100
The interaction between electric charges.
What is electricity?
100
A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.
What is a conductor?
100
A continuous unbroken path through which electricity can flow.
What is a circuit?
100
The use of two different metals and a solution to produce an electric current.
What is an electric cell?
100
Any material with the ability to attract iron.
What is a magnet?
200
The electrical charges that build up on objects by either gaining or losing electrons.
What is static electricity?
200
A material that does not allow electricity to flow through it.
What is an insulator?
200
A conductor that can be moved to either bridge or not bridge the gap in a circuit.
What is a switch?
200
Contains one or more electric cells and can be either wet or dry.
What is a battery?
200
A magnetic force or the attraction or repulsion between magnetic poles.
What is magnetism?
300
The flow of electrons around a circuit that requires a circuit and a power source.
What is current electricity?
300
The measurement of the amount of electrical push or force in a circuit.
What is a volt?
300
The easiest path that electricity flows through.
What is a short circuit?
300
A liquid or paste substance that conducts electricity.
What is an electrolyte?
300
The area of magnetic force around a magnet.
What is a magnetic field?
400
The three types of electrical charges.
What are positive, negative, and neutral?
400
The measurement of power or how fast work is done.
What is a watt?
400
A closed switch so the electricity flows easily.
What is a closed circuit?
400
An electric cell in which the electrolyte is a liquid.
What is a wet-cell battery?
400
When electricity travels through this coil of wire, the core acts like a magnet.
What is an electromagnet?
500
This type of metal is the best conductor of electricity.
What is copper?
500
Measures how much current flows through a given part of a circuit in one second.
What is an ampere?
500
An open switch that breaks the circuit, so electrons cannot travel a complete path.
What is an open circuit?
500
An electric cell in which the electrolyte is a paste.
What is a dry-cell battery?
500
A device that uses motion in a magnetic field to produce an electric current.
What is a generator?
