Electricity

Question 0

How is electricity made

Answer 0

Made when electrons move from one place to another. ( electricity is invisible because electrons are too small to see)

Question 1

What is electricity

Answer 1

Electricity is a type of energy. You cannot touch it, hear it, smell it or see it. Although, you can see the things that use it.

Question 2

How many electrons can fit I to the tip of a ballpoint pen

Answer 2

One billion

Question 3

What are the 2 types of electricity

Answer 3

1. Static E.

2. Current E.

Question 4

How does static electricity work

Answer 4

The friction made when two objects are rubbed together creates static E.

Question 5

What are three ways to tell if static E. Is present

Answer 5

1. It makes sparks and can shock you
2. It makes a crackling sound
3. It causes things to stick together

Question 6

What are the three everyday examples of where static E. occurs

Answer 6

1. Dragging rubber-soled shoes can take electrons from the carpet creating a shock
2. Clothing rubbing together in the dryer taking electrons, causing static cling (clothes sticking together)
3. Electrons collect on TV producing static electricity

Question 7

What is the example (parts 1-4)

Answer 7

Rubbing the balloon steals electrons from your hair. The balloon has extra electrons and has a negative charge. Your hair has less electrons and has a positive charge. Opposites attract so the balloon will stick to something positive. If there are enough electrons, the will try and jump to the wall and make a spark

Question 8

What is the most important thing about the atom

Answer 8

It is the building block of matter

Question 9

What are the most important things about the electron

Answer 9

1. Only particle that moves
2. Found in all atoms
3. Negative charge

Question 10

What are the most important things about the nucleas

Answer 10

1. Control centre of the cell
2. Organizes long DNW molecules
3. Cell would die without it
