🗑
|
||||
| Attractive Force | The force by which one object attracts another.
🗑
|
||||
| Current | The rate at which “charge” flows past a point on a circuit.
🗑
|
||||
| Electrical charge | positive or negative charge generated from unequal number of protons and electrons; charge is generated from the flow of electrons through a material
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnetic force | attractive or repulsive force between electric charges and magnets
🗑
|
||||
| Magnetic Field | a region of space that surrounds a magnet and exerts a force on other magnets and magnetic objects; affects objects without touching them
🗑
|
||||
| Parallel circuit | an electric circuit in which the devices are arranged on separate branches and charges have multiple paths to travel through
🗑
|
||||
| Repulsive force | The force by which bodies repel one another.
🗑
|
||||
| Resistor | A device used to control current in an electric circuit by providing resistance.
🗑
|
||||
| Series circuit | An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
🗑
|
||||
| Switch | A device used to break or open an electric circuit or to divert current from one conductor to another.
🗑
|
||||
| Voltage | A measure of the difference in electric potential between two points in space, a material, or an electrical circuit, expressed in volts
🗑
|
||||
| Fossil fuels | formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have been buried and altered over millions of years; known as crude oil
🗑
|
||||
| Geothermal energy | thermal energy that is contained in and around magma; c. Can be harnessed by geothermal power plants
🗑
|
||||
| Hydropower | Electricity produced from the kinetic energy of moving water.
🗑
|
||||
| Nuclear energy | Energy provided by nuclear fission.
🗑
|
||||
| Solar energy | Energy provided by the sun via thermal radiation
🗑
|
||||
| Wind energy | kinetic energy of moving air that is converted into electrical energy by a windmill
🗑
|
||||
| Electric circuit | a closed system and path that electric current can flow through
🗑
|
||||
| Biomass | organic matter used as a fuel to burn in power stations to generate electricity
🗑
|
||||
| Renewable energy sources | energy source replaced by natural processes faster than humans can consume the resource
🗑
|
||||
| Nonrenewable energy sources | resources that cannot be replaced by natural processes as quickly as they are used
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
