Atom Anatomy
This particle in an atom has a positive charge
What is the proton?
A nightlight changes electrical energy into this form of energy
What is light energy?
This type of energy is the build-up of electric charge in one place.
What is static electricity?
This part of a circuit provides the energy.
What is the power source?
These materials allow electricity to flow through them easily.
What are conductors?
This particle has a negative charge and moves around the nucleus.
What is an electron?
A toaster changes electrical energy into this form of energy for heating bread?
What is thermal energy?
This type of electricity is the continuous flow of electric charge through a circuit
What is current electricity?
This part of a circuit uses electrical energy to do work.
What is the load?
These materials do not allow electricity to flow easily and are often used for safety
What are insulators?
This particle is found in the nucleus and has no electrical charge
What is a neutron?
An electric fan changes electrical energy into this form of energy
What is mechanical energy?
What is static electricity?
This is the conducting route that electricity follows in the circuit.
What is path (or the wire)?
This type of material, such as copper, is commonly used in electical wires.
What are conductors?
These particles move through conductors to create electricity
What are electrons?
A megaphone changes electrical energy into this form of energy so people can hear your voice louder
What is sound energy?
This happens when electric charges move through a wire to power devices like flashlights or fans.
What is current electricity?
In a flashlight, the battery is the power source and the wires form the path, but this circuit part produces light.
What is the load?
Rubber and plastic are examples of this type of material.
What are insulators?
