| What type of circuit has more than one resistor on a wire? |
A series circuit
🗑

| Which of the following is a example of a conductor: A Glass B Rubber C Plastic D Salty Water | Salty Water
🗑
|
||||
| How is a parallel circuit different from a series circuit? | A parallel circuit has more than one pathway.
🗑
|
||||
| How are conductors and insulators different? Give a an example of a conductor and an insulator. | A conductor is a material through which an electric charge can move easily. Those whould be copper,gold,silver, and aluminum. An insulator would be a strong resistor that can stop most electrical currents. That would be like rubber,glass, and dry cotton.
🗑

| Which unit is used to describe the amount of electrical energy provided by an energy source? | Volt
🗑
|
||||
| How can you make an electromagnet stronger? | Increase the number of coils.
🗑
|
||||
| Compare and contrast an electromagnet and a regular magnet. | An electromagnet is a magnet that carries an electrical current.For a regular magnet the strength cannot be quickly changed but an electromagnet can. They were both similar because they both have North and South poles.
🗑

| What makes a material a superconductor? | It has almost no resistance to electrical current.
🗑

| What is a magnet that can carry an electric current? | An electromagnet
🗑
|

| A circuit with several branches or pathways is a .... | Parallel circuit
🗑
|
||||
| Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors. | T
🗑
|
||||
| All branches in a parallel in a parallel circuit have to be on at the same time. | F
🗑
|
||||
| Switches can control each branch in a parallel circuit separately. | T
🗑
|
||||
| Electrical currents do not always produce a magnetic force. | F
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnets cannot be made stronger. | F
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnets can be switched off and on. | T
🗑
|
||||
| Steel contains iron. How might an electromagnet in sorting steel from other metals at a scrap metal yard? | Steel has iron and iron is magnetic.

| A surface that loses electrons becomes positively charged. | T
🗑
|
||||
| The flow of charges between two objects is called static electricity. | T
🗑
|
||||
| The plastic or rubber around copper wires is an insulator because it allows the flow of electrons. | F
🗑
|
||||
| What characteristics of copper and aluminum causes them to be good conductors? what is the affect of this? | They both have many free electrons and most electric wires are made up of copper and aluminum.
