Electricity Quiz

What is an electric circuit with more than one path, or branch, for an electric current to follow

• Fuses

• Series Circuits

• Parallel Circuits

• Circuit Breaker

Adding branches to a parallel circuit does increase or decrease the total circuit through the source.

• Increase

• Decrease

What is a Series Circuits

• An electric circuit with only one path for an electric current to follow

• An electric circuit with more than one path, or branch, for an electric current to follow

• Used near a source of water, it protects you from electric shock

What is GFCI stand for

• Ground Default Circuit Interrupters

• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters

• GFCL

• Groand Fault Circuit Interrupters

What does GFCI do

• An electric circuit with only one path for an electric current to follow

• Used near a source of water, it protects you from electric shock

• electric shock

• Shock

What causes an Electric Shock

• These automatically open a circuit when the current becomes dangerously high

• A current as small as 0.01 can produce a painful shock!

• An electric current follow the path of least resistance to the ground

• When an electric current passes through the human body

What are Fuses

• breakers are switches that automatically open when the current is too great.

• break the circuit by melting a small piece of wire.

• An electric current follow the path of least resistance to the ground

• electric circuit with more than one path, or branch, for an electric current to follow

What is a Circuit Breaker

• Circuit breakers are switches that automatically open when the current is too great.

• break the circuit by melting a small piece of wire

• automatically open a circuit when the current becomes dangerously high

• An electric circuit with only one path for an electric current to follow.

what is a Voltage

• A measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to flow in a material

• A closed, complete path in which an electric current travels is an electric circuit.

• is the amount of energy the source uses to move 1 coulomb of electrons through the circuit.

• An electric current is the movement of electrically charged particles.

what is an insulators

• A material in which electrons can easily move is

  Ex: most metals, like copper and aluminum...

• A material in which electrons cannot easily move is

  Ex: glass, rubber, wood, and even air!
