Electric Circuits

What is a conductor?

•  A material that allows electricity to flow through it.  The circuit is complete. 
• A material that does not allow electricity to flow through.  It stops the flow of electricity.
• A light switch.

An example of an insulator is?

• metal
• plastic
• brass
• aluminum

A unit used to measure the electric potential of a battery is called...

• current
• electricity
• volt

What is a current?

• A constant flow of electricity 
• A path that a current can flow along

What is a circuit?

• A constant flow of electricity 
• A path that a current can flow along

An outlet in a wall and a battery are examples of __________.

• Power source 
• Load
• Energy pathway
• ALL of them 

A _______ controls whether an electric device is ON or OFF. 

• electrical switch
• electric circuit

When a switch is open...

• the circuit is working and gives energy

• the circuit is broken and charges cannot flow

• the circuit is turning lights on

• I don't know...ask Ms. Cednick

What is resistance

• repelling against something

• a STAR WARS reference

• the measure of how difficult current to flow

• how long the wire is

What is Ohm's Law?

• a time to meditate...ohmmmm.

• a relationship between resistance, current, and voltage

• the relationship between current, voltage and charge

• the relationship between voltage, resistance, and charge
