Electricity

Question 1

Electron

Answer 1

Part of the atom with a negative electrical charge

Question 2

Proton

Answer 2

Part of the atom with a positive electrical charge

Question 3

Neutron

Answer 3

Part of the atom with a neutral electrical charge

Think Neutral Ion
Ion - electrically-charged partical

Question 4

Ion

Answer 4

Electrically-charged particles

Question 5

Law of charges

Answer 5

Opposite charges attract similar charges repel

Think + and - sides of a magnet!

Question 6

Answer 6

Stationary electrical charge

Stationary- Not moving

Question 7

Valence electrons

Answer 7

Outermost electrons in an atom

Question 8

Electrical conductor

Answer 8

Material that allows electrons to flow easily

Question 9

Electrical Insulator

Answer 9

Material that resists the flow of electrons

Question 10

Answer 16

Complete circular path that allows electrons flow

Question 17

Battery

Answer 17

Device that supplies electrons through a chemical reaction

Question 18

Switch

Answer 18

Device that controls the flow of electrons by opening and closing the circuit

Question 19

Voltage

Answer 19

Electrical force that causes electrons to flow

Question 20

Power

Answer 20

Measure of how fast work can be accomplished

Question 21

Electrical Power

Answer 21

Voltage times current, a measure of how much current can be supplied in a given time.

P=I•V

Question 22

Difference Between Power and Voltage

Answer 22

Voltage is the force that causes the flow of electrons

Power is the measure of how many electrons are moving and at what rate

Question 23

How Electrical Flow Works

Voltage-Currant-Power

Answer 23

Voltage causes electrons to move and currant moves the electrons to a place of high electrical potential to a place of low electrical potential.

Proton, electron, and neutron

Question 25

Resistance

Answer 25

How much a material resists or slow down flow of electrons

Question 26

Parallel Circuit

Answer 26

Circuit with multiple paths for currant to flow

Question 27

Series circuit

Answer 27

Circuit with only only one path for current to flow
