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 |
