Static Electricity For Dan Manson Flashcards
Basketball
What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit
A series circuit has only one way for electricity to flow while a parallel circuit has more than one way for electricity to flow
What is static electricity
Its the result of an imbalance of negative and positive charges in an object
what are four methods of generating electricity
Natural gas, renewable resources, coal and nuclear energy
what unit is used to measure resistance
Ohm’s
What is a load
It is the thing that converts energy into something else like a lightbulb
what is current
The flow of the electrons in a circuit
Name the different methods of renewable energy
solar energy, biomass, wind energy, hydropower, and geothermal energy
What is a method of non-renewable energy?
natural gases, coal, oil, and nuclear energy
what does the energy star symbol mean on an appliance
It is High efficiency
why should you compare the efficencies of appliances before making a purchases
So you can save more electricity
what is the function of a lightning rod
The function of a lightning rod is to attract lighting to it so it doesn’t strike
Other places
what is a proton
a positively charged particle
what is a electron
a negatively charged particle
what’s a conductor
an object that allows electricity to flow easily
what happens if you put a negative charged object near a positive one
They attract to each other
What’s an insulator
an object that doesn’t allow electricity to flow through it
