Student Version U5 D1 slide deck- Static Electricity

Multiple Choice

Why is the movement of electrons significant in the generation of electricity?

• Because it creates a flow of electrical current

• Because it produces heat

• Because it forms light

• Because it causes chemical reactions

Multiple Choice

How does the motion of electrons contribute to the flow of electrical current?

• Electrons transfer charge, creating a flow of current.

• Electrons remain stationary, preventing current flow.

• Electrons absorb energy, stopping current.

• Electrons create magnetic fields only.
