100

This is the flow of electric charges that moves in an unbroken loop.

Electric Current

100

These are materials through which an electric current can pass.

Conductors

100

When components are connected in one continuous loop it is in a __________ circuit

Series

100

These are temporary magnets, NOT permanent magnets. They are powered by electricity

Electromagnets

100

The unit to measure current

Amps

200

This is the pathway taken by an electric current.

Circuit

200

These are materials through which an electric current CANNOT pass. 

Insulators

200

When components are connected among different branches they are connected in _________

Parallel
200

This term means "to push away".

Repel
200

The unit to measure voltage

volts

300

This type of circuit is a complete circuit where everything is connected and electricity can easily flow through it.

Closed circuit?

300

These are examples of conductors. (Hint: think of the experiment we did in class!)

What are nails, paperclips, and aluminum foil (Anything metal!)

300

In a series circuit the _______ is shared among the components

voltage

300

This is the invisible force field around every magnet.

Magnetic Field

300
This is a material that cuts down the flow of current, but does not stop it.
What is a resistor?
400

This type of circuit is an incomplete circuit where there is some part that is not connected and electricity cannot flow through it.

Open Circuit

400

These are some examples of insulators.

What are plastic, wood, and rubber

400

In a parallel circuit the ___________ splits according to the path it takes

current

400

All magnets have these two types of poles.

What are north and south poles?

400

The three things needed to make a complete circuit.

A power source (battery or outlet), wires, and components

500

This is a device that is used to open and close a circuit easily without connecting and disconnecting the wires.

Switch

500

This is the name of the crackle you hear and feel when you touch a doorknob after rubbing your feet across a carpet.

Static Electricity
500

When lightbulbs are connected in parallel if one breaks what happens to the other bulbs in different paths

They are still lit up

500

Do like poles repel or attract?

Repel

500

The American who realised lightning was a form of electricity?

Benjamin Franklin
