Question
Answer
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.
