Batteries, conductors and insulators and circuits Flashcards
How does a battery produce electricity.
When a chemical reaction occurs between two different placed inside a chemical place inside the battery. It free’s more electrons in one metal than the other.
How many different types of metals are found inside a battery?
Two different types.
Where are different end’s of the battery attached to?
One end is attached to one metal and the other end is attached to the other metal.
What happens to the end of the battery that free’s up more electrons?
It develops a positive charge.
What happens to the end of the battery that free’s up less electrons?
It develops a negative charge.
What is a load?
it is a device that uses electricity to work or perform a job. it is always placed along the wire, as electricity must flow in and out of it.
What is a conductor?
a conductor is a material that let’s electricity move through them easily. an example of a conductor is iron, and all many other metals.
What is an insulator?
It is a material that does not allow electrons or electricity to flow through it. an example of this is plastic or wood.
What is a series circuit?
A circuit in which all of the components are connected in one path.
What is a parallel circuit?
It is a circuit in which all of the components are parallel to each other.
