CIRCUITS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles as a current? | ELECTRICITY |
| What is a part of matter that is described as being either positive or negative? | ELECTRIC CHARGE |
| What builds up when an object loses electrons to another object, then it becomes positively charged which static buildup? | STATIC ELECTRICITY |
| How does static electricity develop in the clouds? | Positive charges (+) buildup in the top part of clouds and negative charges (-) buildup in the bottom part of the clouds |
| When both parts (+) & (-) charges collide, static electricity is released in air which causes flashes of light, WHAT IS THIS CALLED? | LIGHTNING |
| What type of circuit splits and runs through separate components and if one light goes out, the others stay lit? | PARALLEL CIRCUIT |
| What type of circuit current flows through each component, such as light bulbs, if one light goes out, the others go out? | Series Circuit |
| What are 4 components needed for a circuit to be complete? | Conductor, Light bulb, Battery, & Insulator |
| Where does an electrical current start in a circuit and where does it end? | The current starts at the negative part of the battery and ends at the positive part of the battery |
| How would you align two batteries in a toy? | Positive>Negative>Positive>Negative or Negative>Positive>Negative>Positive |
| What are the three parts to an atom? | Protons, Electrons, & Neutrons |
| When positive and negative charges of an object don’t balance, the object is charged and develops what type of electrical charge? | Static Electricity |
| What parts of the atom balances the structure of the element? | Positive (protons) and Negative (electron) charges always balance each other |
| What parts of the atoms have the positive, negative, and neutral part of the atom? | Protons= + positive + part of an atom. Electrons= - negative - part of an atom. Neutrons= no charge part of an atom. |
| Moving electrical charges flow from atoms and produce electrical energy that is found in 4 areas, WHAT ARE THEY? | Electric, Sound, Light, and Heat Energy |
| Where do many electric devices get their power from outside powerlines? | Electrical Outlets |
| A material through which an electric charge can move easily is called what? | A Conductor |
| What are four types of the best conductors made of for electricity? | Copper, Gold, Silver, and Aluminum |
| What are strong resistors that can stop most electric currents to place or areas in towns or cities? | Insulators |
| Insulators are mainly made of four types of materials, what are they? (Name 3 of them) | Rubber, Plastic, Glass, Dry cotton, or Ceramic |
| WHAT ARE THE 4 TYPES OF RENEWABLERESOURCES? | WIND ENERGY, SOLAR ENERGY, WATER (HYDRO)ENERGY, & THERMAL ENERGY |
| What converts kinetic energy into mechanical power? | Wind Turbines |
| What are the 4 types of energy that spell “MELTS”? | Mechanical Energy, Electrical Energy, Light Energy, Thermal Energy, & Sound Energy |
| What type of potential energy depends on the Earth’s gravity like a person falling or a car rolling down a hill? | Gravitational Energy |
| Light waves can have very long or very short wavelengths, what is it known as? | Electromagnetic Spectrum |
