What is attract?
100
This is the flow of electrical charges.
What is is an electric current?
100
These are three things that electrical energy can be changed into.
What are heat, light, and motion?
100
This is a material that lets energy flow through it easily.
What is a conductor?
100
This famous person is credited with discovering how to harness electricity.
Who was Benjamin Franklin?
200
This is what like charges do.
What is repel?
200
This is the path in which electric current flows.
What is a circuit?
200
This can change the voltage of an electric current.
What is a transformer?
200
This is the strength of a power source.
What is voltage?
200
This is a good conductor of electricity.
What is metal?
300
The buildup of electrical charges on an object.
What is static electricity?
300
In this kind of circuit electricity flows in the same direction along a single path.
What is a series circuit?
300
This melts if the electric current in a circuit gets too high.
What is a fuse?
300
This is a material that does not let energy flow through it easily.
What is an insulator?
300
This is an example of a good insulator.
What is rubber, plastic, or glass?
400
The movement of static electricity from one object to another.
What is a discharge?
400
In this kind of circuit electric current flows through more than one path.
What is a parallel circuit?
400
This switches off the current if it gets too high.
What is a circuit breaker?
400
This is the ability of a substance to slow down electric current.
What is resistance?
400
This is what happens to the current of electricity flowing in a circuit if the voltage is increased.
What is an increase in the speed of the current?
500
These kind of charges moves from the cloud to the ground in a bolt of lightning.
What are negative charges?
500
These are the three components necessary for a circuit.
What are a load, power source, and connectors?
500
This is a path of electric current with almost no resistance.
What is a short circuit?
500
This is a complete, unbroken circuit, while this is a circuit that has breaks or openings.
What is a closed and open circuit.
500
This is the reason why an incandescent light bulb gets hotter than a fluorescent light bulb.
What is the filament produces a lot more as well as light?
