Unit 3 - Energy/Circuits

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow energy, particularly electricity or heat, to flow through it.

Front

What type of energy is responsible for melting ice?

Back

Thermal energy is responsible for melting ice.

Front

What type of energy does a campfire NOT produce?

Back

A campfire does not produce hydroelectric energy.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

Front

What is the definition of electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons through a conductor.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is the difference between an open circuit and a closed circuit?

Back

An open circuit has a break in the path, preventing current from flowing, while a closed circuit has a complete path allowing current to flow.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.
