Electricity and Magnetism Test(5th)

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is an electrical charge that builds up on the surface of objects, often resulting in a quick release of energy, such as a spark.

Front

How does static electricity differ from the electricity used in homes?

Back

Static electricity is always a quick release of energy, while home electricity flows continuously and can be controlled.

Front

What is a complete circuit?

Back

A complete circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow from a power source, through a conductor, and back to the power source.

Front

What is an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet is a type of magnet that can be turned on and off by controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What materials can conduct electricity?

Back

Conductors, such as metals like aluminum, iron, and copper, allow electricity to flow through them.

Front

What is the role of a power source in a circuit?

Back

A power source provides the electrical energy needed to push the current through the circuit.

Front

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

Back

In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single path, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected across multiple paths.

Front

What happens when a circuit is open?

Back

When a circuit is open, the path for electricity is broken, and current cannot flow.

Front

What is magnetism?

Back

Magnetism is a force that can attract or repel certain materials, typically metals, and is produced by moving electric charges.

What is a bar magnet?

Back

A bar magnet is a permanent magnet that has a north and south pole and produces a constant magnetic field.
