Static Electricity
Particle that moves around to charge objects
What are electrons?
Device that opens or closes a circuit
What is a switch?
Electricity in a series circuit can only move this way
What is along ONE path?
Easy way to recognize a parallel circuit
Type of electricity where current flows only one way
What is DC (direct current)?
Materials that have a tight hold on their electrons
What are insulators?
How fast electrons flow
What is electric current?
As you connect more bulbs their brightness does this
What is get dimmer?
This describes the glow of lights as you connect them in parallel
What is they stay the same?
Type of electricity that powers TVs and Refridgerators.
What is AC?
Rubbing two different objects together
What is charging by friction?
Unit used to measure resistance
What is the OHM?
This occurs if a bulb burns out or is removed from a series circuit
What is current stops flowing?
This happens to bulbs in different loops if one burns out
What is they stay on?
Type of electricity source that includes fossil fuels.
What is non-renewable?
Discharging an object by allowing electrons to flow to the Earth
What is grounding?
Object used to measure electric current
What is an ammeter?
What a switch can do to all the bulbs in a series circuit
What is turn them ALL on/off?
This happens to the overall current in an electric circuit as you add loads in parallel
What is it increases?
Type of current produced by a battery
What is DC?
This happens to a neutral object like a pith ball when a charged rod is brought close.
What is it attracts?
Need to be connected around a load in a loop
What is a voltmeter?
Response of current on an ammeter when you add news bulbs to a loop
What is it slows down?
Different rooms in most buildings are wired this way.
What is parallel?
Needs to turn to generate electricity
What is a turbine or generator?
