Circuits/Force
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The force in which two objects rub against each other (It causes them to heat up and slow down) | friction |
| A force that pulls towards the center of a heavenly body | gravity |
| A force that can attract (pull closer) or repel (push away) magnetic materials. ** Magnetic metals are iron, nickel, cobalt and steel | magnetism |
| A push or a pull | force |
| To apply a force on the surface of an object | pressure |
| material that allows electric current or thermal energy to pass through easily | conductor |
| material that slows down or stops electric current or thermal energy from passing through | insulator |
| a circuit or electrical path that is broken or incomplete so electricity can’t flow through it. | open circuit |
| a complete electrical circuit or path through which electricity or current can pass or flow | closed circuit |
| The direction the electricity is moving | current |
| Electricity from a battery, solar, cell, fossil fuels or wind generator | source/cell |
| A wire that a current flows through | path |
| Turns a circuit on and off | switch |
| An electric current in which electrons have only one path to take. If one light goes out or removed, they all go out | series circuit |
| A circuit where the electrons have many paths to take. If one light is removed the other lights will still work and will even get brighter. | parallel circuit |
