Never Trust an Atom, they make up everything!
The particles that make up atoms?
What are Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons?
An electric current in which the direction of flow changes, or alternates from plus to minus and back again 60 times each second
What is an Alternating Current?
A device which stores electrical energy in the form of chemical energy; used in toys, cell phones, cars, remote controls, etc.
What is a Battery?
What is Mechanical Energy?
The number of lightning bolts that hit the ground every second
What is 50-100 bolts of lightning?
A positive particle of electricity
What is a Proton?
Electric current in which the direction of flow is always the same; this kind of current is produced by batteries
What is a Direct Current (DC)?
A circuit which allows current to flow throughout
Energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor
What is Electrical Energy?
The number of volts of electricity that lightning discharges
What is 100 million volts?
A particle of electricity with no charge
What is a neutron?
A type of material in which the outermost electrons are loosely held, allowing them to move from atom to atom and thus all the flow of current
What is a Closed Circuit?
A magnet formed by the magnetic field produced around an electric current
What is an Electromagnet?
Energy that is transmitted in the form of (electromagnetic) radiation; energy that exists in the absence of matter
What is Radiant Energy?
How much does lightning heat the air?
What is 60,000 degrees Fahrenheit?
A negative particle of electricity
What is an Electron?
A circuit which has been broken and will not allow the passage of electrons throughout
What is an Open Circuit?
What is an Insulator?
Energy generated and measured by heat
What is Thermal Energy?
This will turn into a magnet if struck by lightning
What is Steel?
These form the nucleus of an atom
What are Protons and Neutrons?
Composed of individual electronic components
What is an Electronic Circuit?
Also known as volts; a measure of the force behind the motion of electrons of electric charge
What is Voltage?
Energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.
What is Nuclear Energy?
The speed of a lightning strike..
What is 270,000 mph?
