Question
Answer
Positive against Positive   Attract  
🗑
Negative against Negative   Repel  
🗑
Positive against Positive   Repel  
🗑
A material such as all metals that let current through are called?   Conductors  
🗑
A material that does'nt let current through such as wood, plastic or rubber what are they called?   Insulators  
🗑
What is resistence?   Resistance is something that makes it harder for the current to flow  
🗑
What 3 things increase resistance?   1)Longer lenght of wire2)Thinner lenght of wire 3)Obstacles such as bulbs,buzzers,motors etc  
🗑
What 3 things decrease resistance?   1)Shorter wire 2)Wider wire 3)Less obstacles such as bulbs,motors,buzzers etc  
🗑
Name 2 ways in which we use resistance in everyday life   1) To increase and decrease volume on a CD player 2)To increase or decrease light  
🗑
A cell   1 battery but don't call it that  
🗑
A battery   2 or more cells  
🗑
How many volts approximately is mains electricity?   240 volts  
🗑
Fuses   Fuses stop the current getting to great.The wire breaks if it goes over the ... A Fuse  
🗑
What is the series circuit?   The battery in a series circuit gives off a certain amount of energy that then get's split equally around the circuit.So by adding 1 more bulb it would divide the energy by 2  
🗑
What is the parallel circuit?   When the battery in the parallel circuit gives off energythen however many bulbs you add they would get the same amount as the 1 bulb that started coz the battery gives out as much energy as needed.You can also turn off one bulb at a time which is useful.  
🗑
Bulb   Light  
🗑
Switch   Switch  
🗑
Cell   Less than a battery  
🗑
Battery   More than a cell  
🗑
Ammeter   Measures amps  
🗑
Voltmeter   Measures volts  
🗑
Connecting wire   wire  
🗑
Two ways switch   Can follow one or another routes  
🗑
Fuse   Stops wire from exploding from the heat  
🗑
Buzzer   Buzzes  
🗑
Motor   Uses electricity to make things happen  
🗑
Current/Amps   Current is how much electrical charge is in the circuit.It is measured in amps  
🗑
Voltage   Voltage measures the difference in electrical energy around the circuit.You use it in parallel  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
