What is Benjamin Franklin most known for?
Inventing bifocals and the lightning rod.
What is resistance?
Resistance is how much electric current has to push through for it to flow through all the circuits.
True or False. If one component of the circuit fails, the whole circuit will stop working?
True
Describe Ohm's Law.
Explanation of the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
Describe what DC is
Direct current. When electrons only have one way to flow and only one direction.
What are the wires inside a lightbulb called?
Filaments
What will happen to the brightness of a light bulb if the switch is suddenly closed?
Nothing. The bulb's brightness will not change when the switch is closed.
Do Christmas lights use series circuit?
Yes
What does Ohm's Law state about the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance?
Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a conductor is equal to the product of the current through and its resistance.
How many volts are in an average house? Closest guess wins.
115-120
How is lightning created?
When tiny ice particles inside the clouds hit each other, causing an electric charge.
