Basic Electricity
This is the flow of electric charge through a conductor
What is current
A circuit must be this to allow current to flow.
What is closed (complete)
This component limits the flow of current.
What is a resistor
This tool is used to measure voltage, current, and resistance.
What is a multimeter
This experiment uses a lemon to generate electricity.
What is a lemon battery
This unit measures electrical current
What is the ampere (amp)
This component provides power in most beginner circuits.
What is a battery
This component emits light when current flows through it.
What is an LED (light-emitting diode)
This unit measures resistance.
What is the ohm (Ω)
This is the path electricity follows through components.
What is a circuit
This force pushes electrons through a circuit
What is voltage
This device opens and closes a circuit.
What is a switch
This component stores electrical energy temporarily.
What is a capacitor
This law relates voltage, current, and resistance.
What is Ohm’s Law
This component is often used to detect light levels.
What is a photoresistor (LDR)
This material allows electricity to flow easily
What is a conductor
A circuit with only one path for current is called this
What is a series circuit
This component allows current to flow in only one direction.
What is a diode
This tool helps connect components without soldering.
What is a breadboard
This project triggers sound when a magnet closes a switch.
What is a reed switch alarm
This material resists the flow of electricity
What is an insulator
A circuit with multiple paths for current is called this
What is a parallel circuit
This component can amplify signals or act as a switch.
What is a transistor
This setting on a multimeter measures electrical pressure.
What is voltage mode
This type of circuit makes an LED blink repeatedly.
What is an oscillator circuit
