Moving Electricity
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Moving Electricity? | The flow of negative charges (electrons) |
| The slow flow of electrons that allows energy to move quickly is called: | Electrical current |
| Formula for current | Current= charge moving past a point/time |
| Charge(Q) is measured in: | coulomb (C) |
| Current(I) is measured in: | ampere (A) |
| Time (t) is measured in: | second (S) |
| Is the amount of current different or the same for each appliance? | different |
| What is a conductor? | material that allows electrons to move |
| What is a insulator? | any type of substance that resists or blocks the movement of electrons |
| What does a circuit need to have in order to work? | a never-ending circle for the negative charge to flow through |
| What are the 3 main components of a electrical circuit? | light bulb, battery and switch |
| What is a ammeter? | A device used to measure the current in a circuit |
