Circuits
What is a series circuit?
These materials slow down electric current from passing quickly.
What are resistors?
These number of volts are found in washer/dryer outlet
How many are 240?
This device can detect electric charge.
What is an electroscope?
Objects that have Like charges would do this to each other.
What is repel?
The latin word for circuit translates to this.
What is "a going around?
These materials will allow electric current to pass quickly through it
What are conductors?
The strength of an outlet is measured in these units.
What are volts?
What is static electricity?
This occurs when negatively charged electrons meet in force to positively charged particles near the ground.
What is a spark?
This type of circuit is how homes are wired, so when 1 light or appliance is turned off, others can stay on.
What is a parallel circuit?
These are 2 examples of conductors.
Silver, aluminum, copper, iron etc.
Resistance is measured in these units. (My machine that detects this failed to work in Electronics class)
What are ohms? (My ohmmeter)
This surrounds every electric charge and exerts a force around it.
What is an electric field?
This is how charge doesn't build up in buildings if a skyskraper is struck by lightning
What is grounding?
These are examples of a dry-cell type
What are small-device batteries?
These are 2 examples of insulators.
What are glass, plastics etc.
Electric current is measured in these units.
What are amperes?
Law of conservation of charge states this.
Charge is not created nor destroyed it is only transferred.
Opposite charges do this to each other.
What is attract?
An example of a wet cell battery are found here.
What are car batteries?
These types of currents are used in households, first developed by Tesla, causing currents to switch direction 120 times every second.
What is alternating current?
Electric charge is measured in these units.
What are coulombs?
This indicates on an electroscope when there is no charge present.
Leaves hang freely straight down.
This is produced quickly causing air to expand rapidly which produces sound waves known as thunder.
What is heat?
