Magnet / Electricity
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| positive | attracted to negative |
| current | the moving charge through a circuit |
| electric cell | a device that is used to generate electricity |
| negative | attracted to positive |
| conductor | a material that a current can pass through (like metal) |
| attraction | opposite charges or poles have this |
| insulator | material used so a current can not go through (like rubber) |
| electric field | the area around a charged object |
| repel | two of the same charges or poles (example North and North, or + +) will ___ each other |
| neutral | if the positive and negative charges are equal or same |
| iron and steel | magnets are attracted to |
| atoms | building blocks of all things |
| protons | part of an atom with positive charge |
| poles | opposite ___ of a magnet are attracted (north and south) |
| electrons | part of an atom with negative charge |
| energy | the ability to do work or cause change |
| magnetic field | space around a magnet where there is a force |
| parallel circuit | all parts of the circuit are connected between the same two sets of points, creating multiple paths for the current to flow from one end of the battery to the other |
| object being effected, path, and power source | three things needed to make a circuit complete |
| series circuit | parts of the circuit are connected end-to-end to form only one path for the current to flow through; power is shared |
