Electricity Study Guide - Key What are series circuits?
Electricity Study Guide - Key What are series circuits? Circuit with only one path for the electricity to flow What are parallel circuits? Circuit with more than one path for electricity to flow Name an example of static electricity Walking across carpet and getting shocked, hair standing up after jumping on a trampoline, balloon sticking to a wall Name an example of current electricity A light bulb being lit Besides wire, what could be used to close Paper clip, wire a circuit between a battery and a load, a bulb for example? What is a closed circuit? An electric circuit providing an uninterrupted, endless path for the flow of current. What is an open circuit? An open circuit is a kind of electric circuit in which the path that the electrons follow cannot be completed because of an open gap that they cannot flow through. What is a switch? Device that opens and closed a circuit Two charges that are not alike will do Attract towards each other what? Two charges that are alike will do what? Repel each other Name several examples of conductors Aluminum foil, metal spoon, paper clips Name several examples of insulators Rubber bands, wood, plastic, glass, sand What happens to objects that lose They will have a positive charge electrons? What happens to objects that gain They will have a negative charge electrons? What is a compass? Instrument used to locate direction What are atoms made of? Neutrons, protons, and electrons What is a neutron? Part of an atom with NO electrical charge What is a proton? Part of an atom with a positive charge What is an electron? Part of an atom with a negative charge Label the pictures Insulators Conductors Parallel Circuit Closed Circuit or Simple Circuit
