Who is Benjamin Franklin?
Benjamin Franklin is a famous inventor.
100
What orbits protons and neutrons in an atom?
Electrons
100
What is an insulator?
An insulator is a substance that resists an electric current.
100
What is a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit has 2 or more paths of electricity to flow through.
100
Electrons in an electric current are constantly moving in one direction so this type of electricity is called __________ __________
static electricity
200
When did Ben do the experiment?
1752
200
What is an atom made of?
Protons,neutrons and electrons.
200
What is a conductor?
A conductor allows the flow of an electric current.
200
What is an incomplete circuit?
An incomplete circuit is a circuit that isnt complete.
200
What is a short circuit?
A pathway added to the electricity to let the electricity take a shortcut.
300
What experiment did Ben do?
Benjamin Franklin tied a key to the end of a kite on a stormy day. He was supposed to get shocked and he did but didnt die.
300
What charges do protons, neutrons and electrons have?
Protons: Positive Neutrons: No charge Electrons: Negative charge
300
How do insulators and conductors work?
Together they allow the flow of electricity.
300
What is a complete circuit?
A complete circuit is a circuit where all wires are properly put together and electricity flows through it easily
300
What is a closed circuit?
It's a complete circuit except a switch has been added.
400
What did Ben's experiment prove?
His experiment proved that lightning is a form of electricity.
400
What are atoms?
Atoms are in everyday objects.
400
Why are conductors important?
Conductors let electricity flow throughout the wires, therefore without conductors the electricity wont flow.
400
What is a series circuit?
A series circuit has 2 or more wires hooked together.
400
Electricity is made up of _________.
Atoms
500
Did Benjamin Franklin invent electricity?
No he didnt. He discovered it. Electricity was here long before Benjamin Franklin was born. He just did an experiment.
500
Is it possible for an atom to have no charge?
Yes because if the atom has the same number of protons and electrons then it cancels out the neutrons.
500
Why are insulators so important?
Insulators prevents discharge from an electrical wire or system.
500
Name a circuit and explain how it works
Answers vary.
500
Opposites ____________ while the same charge _________
1. Attract 2. Repel
