CHOO CHOO - the conductor is ready to flow!
Parallel .. "Series"ly in science
Back to Magnets
100
Electricity in this form can be transformed into other forms of energy.
What is energy?
100
This is the closed path through which electricity flows.
What is a circuit?
100
This is an object that allows electric current to flow through them into an electric circuit.
What is a conductor?
100
In this circuit, electric current goes through each device in the circuit in a single, complete path from the source of the current.
What is a series circuit?
100
This is an object that can attract iron or steel and produce a magnetic field.
What is a magnet?
200
When a light bulb is the receiver, electricity has been transformed in to this type of energy.
What is light energy?
200
This is the component that allows the electricity to flow.
What is the wire?
200
This is an object that does not allow electric current to flow through them in an electric circuit.
What is an insulator?
200
In this circuit, the current branches into several loops and has more than one path through which the electric current flows.
What is a parallel curcuit?
200
This is the type of magnet formed when electric current flows through wire wrapped in coils around an iron bar.
What is an electromagnet?
300
When a speaker is the receiver, electricity has been transformed into this type of energy.
What is sound energy?
300
This is the component that completes the circuit and allows current to flow if closed. If open, the current will stop.
What is a switch?
300
Metals are these to electric circuits.
What are conductors?
300
If one light bulb in a series goes out, this will happen to all the other light bulbs in the circuit.
What is they will all go out (because the circuit is no longer complete)?
300
This is the area of a magnet with the strongest magnetic pull or attraction.
What are the poles?
400
When a stove burner is the receiver, electricity has been transformed into this type of energy.
What is heat energy?
400
This is the component that pushes the electricity around the circuit.
What is the power source/battery?
400
Plastic, rubber and wood are these to electric circuits.
What are insulators?
400
If a light bulb in a parallel circuit goes out in one of the loops or paths, the lights in the other loops do this.
What is stay on (because the electric current can flow in more than one path)?
400
Like poles of a magnet do this and unlike poles of a magnet do this.
What are like poles repel and unlike poles attract?
500
Electricity is a form of energy that can do this.
What is cause change and be changed into other forms of energy?
500
This is the component that recieves the electricity and changes electrical energy into a specific type of energy.
What is light bulb/motor/speaker/RECEIVER?
500
Copper, screen, and aluminum foil are all examples of this, allowing electricity to flow through them.
What are conductors?
500
This is the main difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit.
What is a parallel circuit has many paths and a series circuit has a single path (through which electric current flows)?
500
These are the three factors that affect the strength of an electromagnet?
What are 1)number of coils 2)voltage of battery 3)type of core?
