| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles as a current? | Electricity |
| Atoms are made of small parts which can have a what to it? | Electric Charge |
| What happens to object in which electrons become positively charged? | It builds up static electricity |
| Where are positive and negative charge located in clouds that cause static electricity to build up? | Positive charges build in the top of clouds and negative charges build in the bottom |
| What happens when static electricity is released into the air and the air is heated in the clouds? | It begins to lightning |
| How does static electricity develop from rubbing a balloon on your hair? | The balloon transfers electrons to your hair and your hair transfers protons that attract to your hair. |
| What are electric charges in motion called? | An electric current |
| In order for an electric current to flow freely, an electrical circuit must what type of circuit? | Closed Circuit |
| What type of circuit has at least one break in its path to stop an electrical current from flowing? | Open Circuit |
| A material through which an electric charge can move easily is called what? | Conductor |
| What are some of the best conductors are made of? | Copper, Gold, Silver, and Aluminum |
| What are materials that prevent the flow of electric charge known as? | Resistor |
| What are strong resistors that can stop most electric currents to place or areas in towns or cities? | Insulators |
| Insulators are mainly made of materials, what are they? | Rubber, Plastic, Glass, or Dry cotton |
| What type of circuit has only one path in which it flows through cables or wire setups? | Series Circuit |
| What are the 4 parts that create a basic series circuit? | The battery (Power Source), The wire or cable, The on/off switch, To the light bulb/or other electric connection |
| What type of circuit has more than one path to follow? | Parallel Circuit |
| An electrical circuit starts from what side of the battery and ends at what side of the battery? | Start at the negative side of the battery and ends at the positive side of the battery |
| If an object has 12 positive charges and 7 negative charges, is the object positively or negatively charged? | Positive Charged |
| If an object has 8 positive charges and 17 negative charges, is the object positively or negatively charged? | Negatively Charged |
| If a series circuit had three light bulbs and the front light bulb was burned out or broken, will the other two light up and why? | No, because a series circuit has one path and the burned out or broken bulb stop the current from flowing through the circuit. |
| A parallel circuit has three lights, and two lights are broken, does the third light work or not, and why? | Yes, because the parallel circuit would have three pathways, even if two of the are blocked, the three pathway is still working a clear connection. |
| What is electromagnetic? | Its magnetism created by an electric current |
| Is a light bulb a conductor or insulator? | An Insulator |
| What is the speed of light? | 186,000 MPS (Miles Per Second) |
| What is the only visible light that we see? | The electromagnetic spectrum |
| What are the three types of light capabilities on materials? | Transparent, Translucent, & Opaque |
| What are the three parts to an ATOM? | Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons |
| How fast does sound energy travel in the air? | 330 meters per second |
