| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A BUILDUP OF ELECTRICAL CHARGE ON THE SURFACE OF AN OBJECT | STATIC ELECTRICITY |
| THE CONTINUOUS FLOW OF ELECTRONS AROUND A CIRCUIT | CURRENT ELECTRICITY |
| CIRCUIT | AN UNBROKEN PATH THROUGH WHICH ELECTRICITY CAN FLOW |
| CONDUCTOR | A MATERIAL THAT ALLOWS ELECRICITY TO FLOW THROUGH IT. |
| A CONDUCTOR THAT CAN BE MOVED SO THAT IT EITHER BREDGES OR DOES NOT BRIDGE A CIRCUIT MAINTAINING OR BREAKING THE FLOW OR ELECTRICITY | SWITCH |
| INTEGRATED CIRCUIT | A SMALL CIRCUIT WITH ALL ITS PARTS BUILT INTO IT |
| ANY LIQUID OR PASTE THAT CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY | ELECTROLYTE |
| A MATERIAL THAT DOES NOT CONDUCT ELECTRICITY WELL | INSULATOR |
| A MATERAIL THAT REDUCES THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS | RESISTOR |
| A CIRCUIT THT HAS ONLY ONE PATH FOR THE ELECTRICITY TO TRAVEL | SERIES CIRCUIT |
| A CIRCUIT THAT HAS TWO OR MORE PATHS IN WHICH ELECTRICITY TO TRAVEL | PARALLEL CIRCUIT |
| THE MEASUREMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF PUSH OR FORCE IN A CIRCUIT | VOLT |
| THE MEASUREMENT OF POWER OR HOW FAST WORK IS DONE | WATT |
| THE UNIT USED TO MEASURE THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE POINT OF A CIRCUIT IN ONE SECOND | AMPERE |
| Scientist(s) who discovered that moving a magnet around or through a loop of wire produces electricity in the wire. | Joesph Henry and Michael Faraday |
| WHO DISCOVERED THAT ADDING A METAL CORE TO A COIL OF WIRE INCREASED THE MAGNETISM? | WILLIAM STURGEON |
| EXAMPLES OF CONDUCTORS | THE METALS, COPPER AND ZINC |
| EXAMPLES OF RESISTORS | LIGHT BULB FILAMENT, TOASTER, HAIR DRYER, CURLING IRON, COFFEE POT |
| EXAMPLES OF INSULATORS | WOOD, PLASTIC, GLASS |
| WHO DISCOVERED THAT CURRENT TRAVELING THROUGH A WIRE PRODUCES A WEAK MAGNETIC FIELD IN THE LIVE WIRE? | HAN CHRISTIAN OERSTED |
| MAGNETIC FIELD | THE AREA AROUND A MAGNET THAT THE MAGNETISM AFFECTS/ |
| CPU | PART OF THE COMPUTER'S MOTHERBOARD THAT TELLS THE OTHER PARTS OF THE COMPUTER WHAT TO DO. |
| ELECTROMAGNET | A COIL OF WIRE WITH A CORE THAT PRODUCES MAGNETISM WHEN A CURRENT PASSES THROUGH IT. |
| HOW ARE MAGNETS AND STATIC ELECTRICITY SIMILAR? | THE ARE SIMILAR BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM CAN ATTRACT OR REPEL OBJECTS |
| NAME TWO THINGS THAT AFFECT THE STRENGTH OF AN ELECTROMAGNET. | INCREASING OR DECREASING THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF THE CORE. |
| HOW DOES MAGNETISM PRODUCE ELECTRICITY? | BY MOVING A MAGNET THROUGH WIRE |
| WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELECTRICAL DEVICES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES | ELECTRICAL DEVICES CANNOT COMMUNICATE ELECTRONIC DEVICES CAN |
