Electricity Flashcards
What is an electric current?
An electric current is the flow of electrons through a current, getting pulled towards protons and nutrons.
What is an electron?
A negative charge of energy that gets pulled towards positive energy (protons).
What is a current?
The flow of electrons getting pulled towards a positive charge.
What is a curcuit?
The path of a conducting material that you give electrons to flow.
What is a conductor?
A material that can make electrons stay on or let flow through.
What is an Insulator?
Materials that cant conduct energy.
Explain how electricaty runes through an incandecent light bulb and produces light.
The electrons enter the lightbulb through the electrical contact and when the electrons go through the tungsten filament which heats up so much it creates light and then exits out another electrical contact.
What does CFL stand for?
Compact Fluoracent Lights
What does LED stand for?
Light Emmitting Diodes
How do you create electricety using wind and water?
We use the water and wind movement to power a electrical generator. Electrical generators usually involve something needing to move(wind and water) magnets, wich have a positive and negative poles, forcing electrons to move, or flow that creates a current.
How do you create energy using solar pannels?
With using solar pannels it charges the electrons that meke them move around creating solar energy that is converted to chemical energy then electrical energy.
How do you create energy using fossle fules?
Whe fossle fules are burnes a great amount of gas. Whith taking advantage of that powerful expansionsomething has to move (mechanical energy) in that small space where gas expands.
