| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical Energy | Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules, released during reactions (food, batteries). |
| Electrical Energy | Energy of moving electrons; a flow of electrical charge. |
| Thermal Energy | Internal energy due to motion of atoms/molecules; felt as heat. |
| Mechanical Energy | Sum of potential (stored) and kinetic (motion) energy in an object. |
| Nuclear Energy | Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom; released by splitting (fission) or combining (fusion) nuclei. |
| Electrons | Tiny particles in atoms with a negative charge (−negative−). |
| Protons | Particles in the atom's nucleus with a positive charge(+positive+). |
| Charge | A fundamental property of matter that can be positive or negative. |
| Attract | The force between opposite charges (+positive+and−negative−) causing them to move together. |
| Repel | The force between like charges (+positive +and+positive+or−negative−and−negative−) causing them to push apart. |
| Static Electricity | An imbalance of positive or negative charges on the surface of an object. |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. |
| Circuit | A complete, closed path through which electric current can flow. |
| Conductor | Material that allows electrons to flow easily (e.g., copper wire, metal). |
| Insulator | Material that resists the flow of electrons (e.g., plastic, rubber, glass). |
| Energy Source | Provides the push (voltage) needed for electrons to move (e.g., battery, generator). |
| How does a Battery Convert Energy | Chemical energy in the battery's acid/metal reacts -> transformed into electrical energy that flows through a circuit. |
| Explain static electricity using "attract" and "repel". | Rubbing transfers electrons. Objects get positive or negative charges. Opposite charges attract; like charges repel. |
| Diagram a simple Circuit | Draw a battery (source), connected by wires (conductors), with a lightbulb (load). Wires covered in insulators. |
