What is friction?

• A force that has no effect on the motion of an object

• A force that creates the motion of an object

• A force that opposes the motion of an object

• A force that supports the motion of an object

What is a conductor in terms of electricity?

• A material that creates a magnetic field

• A material that allows electricity to easily flow through it

• A material that does not allow electricity to flow easily through it

• A material that generates static electricity

What is a closed circuit?

• A circuit that creates a magnetic field

• A circuit that generates static electricity

• A circuit that does not allow electricity to flow within it

• A circuit that allows electricity to flow within it

What is static electricity?

• The flow of energy as a current through the circuit

• The transformation of electrical energy into different forms of energy

• The creation of a magnetic field by a current flowing through a wire

• The transfer of negatively charged particles between materials

What is an insulator in terms of electricity?

• A material that allows electricity to easily flow through it

• A material that does not allow electricity to flow easily through it

• A material that generates static electricity

• A material that creates a magnetic field

What happens if there is an opening in a circuit?

• Electricity will not flow within the circuit

• Electricity will flow within the circuit

• Static electricity will be generated

• A magnetic field will be created

What is the central idea of electricity moving through circuits?

• Electricity can be generated by rubbing certain materials together

• Electricity flows easily through conductors but not insulators

• Energy can be transformed into different forms for multiple uses

• A current flowing through a wire creates a magnetic field

What is the flow of energy as a current through the circuit used to do?

• Do work
