Electricity

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows the flow of electric current. Examples include metals like copper and gold.

Front

Identify a common conductor of electricity.

Back

Gold ring is a common conductor of electricity.

Front

Which subatomic particle has a positive charge?

Back

Protons have a positive charge.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects, often resulting in a spark or discharge.

Front

What is current electricity?

Back

Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes.

Front

What happens to resistance as the thickness of a wire increases?

Back

Thicker wires have less resistance than thinner wires.

Front

What is voltage?

Back

Voltage is the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit, measured in volts.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electric current to flow through it easily. Examples include rubber and glass.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). It is expressed as V = I × R.
