All Charged Up
The same number of positive particles as negative particles. (charge)
What is neutral?
The accumulation of electric charge (-) on an object.
What is static charge?
This is the SI unit of electric current.
What is Amps (A)?
The path through which electric charges flow.
What is an electric circuit?
A small "package" of light that acts like a particle.
What is a photon?
Charging an object by allowing it to come into contact with an object that already has a charge.
What is charging by conduction?
Charges that repel one another.
What are opposite charges?
The ability of a material to impede the flow of charge.
What is resistance?
Moving two magnets father apart does this to the magnetic force between the two.
What is weaker?
The tiny building blocks of everything
What are atoms?
If a positively charged rod charges by conduction, what is the charge on the object?
positive
Charges that attract one another.
What are like charges?
Current that flows from positive to negative side of a battery.
What is conventional current?
In a parallel circuit, when 1 light in the circuit goes out this happens to the other lights.
What is they stay on?
Atoms in a material that cannot be aligned will not respond to this.
What is a magnet?
The exchange of photons causes this.
What is the electromagnetic force?
Charging an object without direct contact between the object and a charge.
What is charging by induction?
This is the SI Unit for measuring voltage in a circuit.
What is Volts (V)?
Types of materials that electrons flow easily through.
What are conductors?
In a series circuit, when 1 light in the circuit goes out this happens to the other lights.
What is they all go out?
The percentage of the domains aligned in magnet determines this.
What is the magnetic strength?
Charging an object by rubbing two items together where one transfers electrons to the other.
What is charging by friction?
Why don't charged particles glow?
the light is not visible to us
The amount of charge that travels past a fixed point in an electrical circuit each second.
What is current?
This is a circuit where there is more than one closed path for current to follow.
What is parallel?
This silver orb produces very high voltage direct current (DC) electricity at low current levels...resulting in a hair raising experience!
What is the Van de Graaff generator?
This is the movement of static charge from one place to another.
What is static discharge?
Types of materials that slow the flow of electrons in a circuit.
What are insulators?
The term used to describe the actual current in a circuit (negative to positive).
What is electron flow?
This type of material can be magnetized permanently.
What is ferromagnetic materials?
If a positively charged rod charges by induction, what is the charge on the object?
Negatively charged
What is electric field?
When is an electrical current reasonably safe?
When current and voltage are low
A cluster of many atoms that have their magnetic fields aligned and so act as a magnet.
What is a magnetic domain?
