What unit is static electricity measured in?
Volts
What is voltage?
Voltage is the "pressure" that pushes electricty through the cicuit, and helps create electric current.
Are elctrons positive, or negative?
Negative
A type of cicuit that only allows one path for the electrons to travel through.
Seris Circuit
What is current measured in?
A(Amps)
What causes static electricity?
When positive, and negative charges are not balanced.
Cells, batteries, and generaters.
What is the center of the atom called?
The nucleus
A type of circuit that has multiple different paths for the electrons to travel down.
Parallel Circuit
What is the equation to find voltage?
Current x Resistance
