away from   show
🗑
charge   show
🗑
show This is the energy stored in chemical bonds holding chemical compounds together.  
🗑
show a complete, unbroken path through which electric charges can flow  
🗑
show a method of charging an object by allowing electrons to flow by direct contact from one object to another object  
🗑
show Electric _____ is the continuous flow of electric charges through material that are conductors like metals.  
🗑
distance   show
🗑
dry cell   show
🗑
show is a region around a charged object where the object's electric force is exerted on other charged objects  
🗑
show In electricity, the _____ is the attraction and repulsion between electric charges.  
🗑
show Chemical reactions occur between the electrolytes and electrodes in ____ cell. These reactions cause one electrode to become negatively charged and the other electrode positively charged  
🗑
electrolyte   show
🗑
electrons   show
🗑
show Electric charges need __ to flow.  
🗑
exists alone   show
🗑
show Charging by ____ is the transfer of electrons from one uncharged object to another by rubbing.  
🗑
induction   show
🗑
show Material that is ____ does not transfer electricity easily or well.  
🗑
Parallel   show
🗑
Power   show
🗑
show current depends on the ___ of the material it flows through and how difficult it is to flow through. The more difficult the ____, the the more difficult for the current to move through  
🗑
show A circuit in which there is a Single path for the electric current to flow. Adding bulbs make them dimmer.  
🗑
show The loss of static electricity as electrical charges transfer from one object to another is called _____.  
🗑
show In ___ the charges build up on an object but they do not flow continuously.  
🗑
towards   show
🗑
show ____ causes a current in an electric circuit. You can think of this word as the amount of force pushing an electric current.  
🗑
voltage source   show
🗑
show The movement of electrons from one atom to another is a current because ___ is a force moving an object some distance.  
🗑
show the law that states that charges are neither created nor destroyed but only transferred from one material to another.  
🗑
conductor   show
🗑
show The rod in a battery. One is often zinc and the other copper. The positive charges collect on one and the negative on the other.  
🗑
terminal   show
🗑
show a combination of two or more electrochemical cells in a series  
🗑
wet cell   show
🗑
show a connection that allows current to take an unintended path  
🗑
grounded   show
🗑
third prong   show
🗑
show a safety device with a thin metal strip that will melt if too much current passe through a circuit. A metalloid on the periodic table.  
🗑
show a reusable safety switch that breaks the circuit when the current becomes too high  
🗑


   

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.
