Electricity and Magnetism Review 5th grade

Front

What is the force of magnetism capable of?

Back

The force of magnetism can work through certain materials, but not all.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not let electrical energy flow through it.

Front

What type of circuit allows electricity to flow continuously?

Back

A closed circuit allows electricity to flow continuously.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit where components are connected in a single path, so the same current flows through all components.

Front

What does resistance measure?

Back

Resistance measures how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.

Front

True or False: Resistance is the measure of how much a material opposes the flow of water.

Back

False. Resistance measures the opposition to the flow of electric current, not water.

Front

What does a compass needle pointing north indicate?

Back

It indicates that Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electrical energy to flow through it.

Front

What is an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.

Front

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

Back

An open circuit has a break in the path, preventing electricity from flowing, while a closed circuit allows electricity to flow continuously.
