100

This is the pathway taken by an electric current.

What is a circuit?

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, NOT permanent magnets.
What are electromagnets?
100
In this type of circuit, electricity has only one path to follow.
What is a series circuit?
200

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

What is a closed circuit?

200

These are materials that resists the flow of electrons.

What are insulators?

200

In this type of electricity, charges flow in a continuous path

What is Current Electricity?

200
This term means "to push away".
What is repel?
200
What does a barefoot hiker get when he steps on an electrical cord

What is " A pair of Shocks"?

300

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

What is an open circuit?

300

The human body is considered to be

What is a weak Conductor

300

The total energy in a circuit stays the same, even as it moves between components. This follows what principle?

What is the conservation of energy?

300
This is the invisible force field around every magnet.
What is a magnetic field?
300
This is a material that cuts down the flow of current, but does not stop it.
What is a resistor?
400

A type of circuit where components are connected on separate branches and current is divided

What is a parallel circuit?

400

Metal wires are commonly made of this highly conductive material

What is Copper?
400

What's should someone do if their kids starts eating electrical cords

What is ground them, until they start conducting themselves properly?


400
All magnets have these two types of poles.
What are north and south poles?
400
These are the basic materials needed to make a complete circuit.
What are a power source (battery or outlet), wires, and a light bulb?
500

A safety device that melts or breaks when too much current flows through it

What is a fuse?

500
This is the name of the crackle you hear and feel when you touch a doorknob after rubbing your feet across a carpet.
What is static electricity?
500
A battery makes a motor run by changing electrochemical energy into this type of energy.
What is mechanical energy?
500
To make an electromagnet, a conductor could be coiled around this.
What is an iron or steel nail?
500

This person invented the light bulb.

Who is Thomas Edison?
