Electric (electron) movement
The tiny building blocks of everything. They're tiny and they're teeny!
What are atoms?
Ohms law is the relationship between these three factors.
What is Resistance, current and voltage?
This subatomic particle flows through the wire when an electric field is present.
What is an electron
What is the thing that closes and opens the current in a circuit.
What is a switch.
Every battery has two of these
What is terminals
The behavior two electrons exhibit toward each other.
What is repel?
The opposition to electron flow.
What is resistance?
this is a path in which electric charges can flow.
What is an circuit.
This is the unit of electric current.
What is amps or amperes
Electric Current move easily in these.
What are conductors
This is when negative charges are built up on an object.
What is static electricity?
This is what happens to the current as resistance increases.
What is decreases.
Name things (2) that electrons flow easily through. Examples
What is wire, metal poles, anything metal.
What factors affect the strength of electric forces?
resistance, amount of electricity, # of bulbs.....
A circuit that has no breaks; is connected in a full loop
What is closed circuit
An electric charge in motion. (electrons in motion usually in a wire)
What is an electric current?
These factors affect the resistance in a circuit.
What are material, size, length and temperature....
Name at least 2 things that could slow the flow of electrons in a circuit.
wood, plastic, rubber
In this circuit, devices are connected so there is only 1 closed path for current to follow.
What is series
A decrease in voltage in a series circuit.
What is voltage drop.
Good conductors allow electrons to do what from atom to atom?
What is allow them to flow or move.
The equation for ohms law
What is V= I *R or C= V/R
Name the three subatomic particles that make up an atom and which of them flows easily in a circuit.
Proton, Neutron and Electron. What is electron?
This is a circuit where there is more than one close path for a current to follow. What happens to current in this circuit?
What is parallel and it splits?
This is a measure of the amount of electrical energy transferred by an electric charge as it moves from one point to another in a circuit.
What is voltage
