Electricity-Gr. 5

Switch

• The part of a circuit which can control whether electricity flows
• An electrical force which occurs as electrons are built up in an object
• A small device that stores energy in a chemical form
• The area of a conductor through which a current is able to move

• Series circuit
• Incomplete circuit
• Parallel circuit
• Power source

What is an insulator?

• The area of a conductor through which a current is able to move
• A material which does not allow electricity to go through it
• The amount of devices which are in a circuit
• A battery or other device which provides energy for a circuit

What does the Energuide sticker tell you on an appliance?

• How energy efficient it is

• How many wires it has

• How easy it is to guide you in operating it

• How much it costs to purchase

What is a conductor?

• A material that allows electricity to go through it
• The area of a conductor through which a current is able to move
• A battery or other device which provides energy for a curcuit
• When there is only one path for the electricity to flow

• Parallel circuit
• Series circuit
• Incomplete circuit
• Switch

What are some things that are true of ALL metals?

• they are magnetic
• they are soluble in water
• they are all good conductors of electricity
• they all have the same melting point

To complete a circuit the switch must be

• unattached
• open
• closed
