Answer 2

-they are positively charge

Question 3

electrons

Answer 3

-they are negatively charged

Question 4

Answer 5

Electrical

Question 6

Electrons have a ______charge

Answer 6

negative

Question 7

Protons have a ______charge

Answer 7

postive

Question 8

Inner orbiting electrons are called ______

Answer 8

Bounded electrons

Question 9

Outter orbiting electrons are called ______

Answer 9

free electrons

Question 10

We use wiers to produce an orderly ______

Answer 10

flow of electrons

Question 11

how does a conductor work?

Answer 11

• the conductor is made from a material that can easily transfer electricity
• the Electrons move towards the Protons
• most types of metals are good conductors
  - copper is used commonly

Question 12

What is an electric current?

Answer 12

• it is the flow of electrons around an electric circuit
• it needs a force to make it flow
• the force or electric pressure is measured in volts

Question 13

How does an electric circuit work?

• closed circuits
• open circuits

Answer 13

• The flow of electricity travels from the negative terminal on a battery to the positive terminal.
• the battery is the power source that stores electricity
• after the electricity flows through the light bulb it flows back to the positive terminal on the battery
• the thin wire inside a light bulb is called the filament
• and can glow when electricity passes through the bulb
• the electricity will flow until the battery loses charge or the switch is opened.

Question 14

what is the difference between a series and a parallel circuit?

Answer 14

-In a series circuit, there is one path, unlike parallel circuits

Question 15

What is electricity?

Answer 15

1st - Understand Atoms
2nd - atoms are small particles that make up all matter
-atoms contain electrons (-), neutrons(0), protons (+)
-electricity is a flow of electrons

Question 16

what are insulators?

Answer 16

• it is the opposite of a conductor (doesn’t carry any electricity
• they protect us (and Loki)
• examples are rubber, plastic, glass, ceramics

Question 17

what are batteries?

Answer 17

• stored electrical energy that can power a circuit
• they use chemicals that react to make electricity
• have a negative and positive end
• when placed in a circuit the chemicals produce electricity (negatives flowing to positives).

Question 18

what is static electricity

Answer 18

-Electrons building on a surface

Question 19

oil, natural gases and coal energy

Answer 19

-they get burned down and it expands in a confined space creating pressure that can move a mechanical machine that creates kinetic energy.

Question 20

solar energy

Answer 20

-it has different layers that harness the solar energy from the sun which excites the electrons in the layers and creates electricity

Question 21

wind

Answer 21

-the wind powers the turbines and creates kinetic energy
