What are the two types of circuits?
What is a series circuit and a parallel circuit
300
Cardboard, plastic, wood, and rubber are examples of these.
What is an insulator?
300
As electrons collect on an object, what charge does it obtain?
What is negative.
300
In which direction does electric charges flow?
What is from an area of higher voltage to an area of lower voltage.
300
In which direction do the negatively charged subatomic particle, the electron, flow around a circuit?
What is from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
300
In a series circuit, when the switch is in the OFF position (and down) what happens to the lamp?
What is the lamp lights up
400
The source of an electric current.
What is a cell?
400
What surrounds every electric charge?
What is an electric field?
400
Why do you get shocked after you walk across a carpet and touch your cat, dog, little brother, or a metal doorknob?
What is the charges flow between your hand and the conductor.
400
When two or more cells are connected together
What is a battery?
400
If there are any breaks in a parallel circuit what happens?
What is the lamp continues to light up because the electrons have a different path to take.
500

What is lightning?
500
What is the name of the generator that transfers static electricity from one object to another?
What is the van de Graaf generator?
500
How does a van de Graaf generator work?
What is when a person places their hand on the ball, and the machine is turned on, electrons are transferred to and collected on the person who is touching the ball.
500
How is the cells chemical energy used?
What is to push the current around a circuit
500
Which circuit am I?
1. My components are connected from end to end, one after the other. The make a simple loop for the current to flow around. If one bulb blows out it breaks the whole circuit and no bulbs work (like holiday lights).
