positively |
| Atoms are made up of ______________ charged electrons. |
negatively |
| What type of charge do neutrons have? |
they are neutral (they have no charge) |
| What happens when salt (NaCl)dissolves in water? |
The sodium ions and chloride ions break apart. |
| When sodium ions and chloride ions break apart, what happens? |
The ions are now able to carry electric energy |
| What do positive charge and a negatively charge do? |

protects it from getting damaged |
| What is need to electrons to flow for a battery to work? |
The electrons must flow, through a closed circuit, from the negative battery terminal to the positive battery terminal. |
| what happens when an alkaline battery is connected to an electrical circuit? |
Chemical reactions occur in the moist paste of this alkaline battery that the move electrons from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. |
| What happens as electrons flow through a wire? |
They travel in a zigzag path as they collide with atoms and other electrons. |
| What happens when electrons collide as they travel through a wire? |
They lose some of their some electronic energy. |
| When water and electrons, what influences the resistance? |
The diameter and the length of the conductor. |
| What two types of hoses increase resistance? |
long or narrow. |
| What happens when you hold a bucket of water higher? |
It will increase potential energy of the water in the bucket. |
| How does holding a bucket of water increase potential energy? |
It causes the water to flow out of the hose faster |
