---|---|---|---|---|---|
Electricity | is a form of energy.
🗑
|
||||
Forms of Energy | Chemical, Heat, Sound, nuclear, Electric and Light
🗑
|
||||
Energy | the ability to make someone or something move or work
🗑
|
||||
What does electricity need in order to work | protons and electrons
🗑
|
||||
protons | have a positive charge of electricity
🗑
|
||||
electrons | have a negative charge of electricity
🗑
|
||||
law of electricity | like electrical charges repel or move away from each other (+ and +) (-and-). Different electrical charges attract each other (+and-)
🗑
|
||||
Static Electricity | is caused by friction. it is stored electricity. Its release depends on the movement of electrons.
🗑
|
||||
How does Static Electricity move | Does not move along a path. It jumps form one object to another and then rests on the object which it lands.
🗑
|
||||
Current Electricity | Is caused by electrons moving through a path or wire.
🗑
|
||||
Current Electricity Movement | Electrons enter, travel through and pass out of a conducter. Electrons flow from the negative to the positive.
🗑
|
||||
Conductor | a material that makes a good path for electricity to flow.
🗑
|
||||
Good conductors of electricity | Most Metals
🗑
|
||||
Insulators | A material that slows down electron flow or does not allow electrons to pass through it.
🗑
|
||||
Some Types of Insulators | Wood, Plastic or glass
🗑
|
||||
Circuit | the path through which electrons flow. when electrons can flow from a power source (battery or power company) through a conductor and back again.
🗑
|
||||
What are the types of circuits | Series and Parallel
🗑
|
||||
Incandescent light bulbs | gives off light when electrons flow through it.
🗑
|
||||
The metal wire in an incandescent light bulb is | called the filament, and is heated until it glows and gives off light energy
🗑
|
||||
Fluorescent lights | electricity passes through a gas, such as mercury vapor or neon, and produces light.
🗑
|
||||
fluorescent type of lights | produce more light and much less heat than a incandescent light.
🗑
|
||||
circuit breakers | has a switch that automatically opens when a circuity is overloaded. This protects your home from fire.
🗑
|
||||
fuses | used instead of circuit breakers. Has a thin filament or wire. When electron flow reaches to high of a level the filament melts and opens the circuit.
🗑
|
||||
Series Circuits | electrons have only one path to follow
🗑
|
||||
Parallel Circuits | the electrons have more then one path to follow
🗑
|
||||
Switch types | Knife, Toggle, pushbutton
🗑
|
||||
Knife Switch | has a moveable blade that opens and closes the circuit
🗑
|
||||
Toggle Switch | like a wall switch
🗑
|
||||
Pushbutton Switch | used in doorbells
🗑
|
||||
Battery | A group of cells that works together to produce electricity by a chemical reaction
🗑
|
||||
Alessandro Volta | The inventor of the battery
🗑
|
||||
Volt | the strength of the fore measured by a battery
🗑
|
||||
Force used for electrons to travel | the forced is produced by the battery.
🗑

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.
