This is the unit used to measure household electricity use.

What is kWh or Kilowatt hours?

200

Electric Current moves easily through these.

What are conductors

300
When the positive and negative charges no longer balance. This is when negative charges are built up much more than positive.
What is static electricity?

400
In this circuit, devices are connected so there is only 1 closed path for current to follow.
What is series
400
A current carrying wire wrapped around an iron core is called this.
What is electromagnet.
500

Converts chemical to electric energy

What is a battery?

500
Only materials containing these elements are magnetic
What is iron, cobalt, nickel, and a few other rare earth elements
500
This subatomic particle flows easily in a circuit.
What is electron
500

This is a circuit where there is more than one closed path for a current to follow.

What is parallel

500

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
