100

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

What is an electric current?

100

These are materials through which an electric current can pass.

What are conductors?

100

Early scientists most likely saw a discharge of electricity for the first time while observing this.

What is a lightning storm?

100

These are temporary magnets that are created using electric current.

What are electromagnets?

100
In this type of circuit, electricity has only one path to follow.
What is a series circuit?
200

This is the pathway taken by an electric current.

What is a circuit?

200

These are materials through which an electric current CANNOT pass.

What are insulators?

200

A generator converts mechanical energy into what kind of energy?

electrical

200
The Law of Electrostatics states that like charges - 

What is repel?

200
In this type of circuit, electricity has more than one path to follow.
What is a parallel circuit?
300
This type of circuit is a complete circuit where everything is connected and electricity can easily flow through it.
What is a closed circuit?
300

2 examples of conductors and 2 examples of insulators

Conductors: metals (any type) and water

Insulators are: plastic, rubber, wood, glass

300

When resistance increases in a circuit, ________ decreases.

What is current?
300

A device that uses an electromagnet to convert electrical energy to mechanical.

What is an electric motor?

300

This is a semiconductor device that amplifies electrical current.

What is a transistor?

400

This device is used to oppose the flow of electricity.

What is a resistor?

400

This is a semiconductor that controls the flow of electricity.

What is a diode?

400

What is the amount of energy that electrons are carrying/ the potential electric energy in a circuit?

What is a voltage?

400

A device that uses an electromagnet to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

What is a generator?

400

When you add more bulbs to this kind of circuit, the bulbs get dimmer.

What is a series circuit?

500

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

What is a switch?

500

This is the buildup of charges that creates electricity when they transfer, example: lightning

What is static electricity?

500

When voltage increases, _____ increases.

What is current?

500

To make the strongest kind of electromagnet, what can you do?

What is add more coils in the wire wrapped around an iron core or add more voltage?

500

Thicker wires have less of this, thinner wires have more.

What is resistance?
