Electricity Unit

Electricity is...

• A form of energy created by the movement of electrons through a conductor

• A form of energy created by the movement of electrons through a insulator

• A form of energy created by the movement of protons through a conductor

• A form of energy created by the movement of negative atoms through a conductor

Energy is

• All of the above

• The ability to make electricity

• The ability to do work or cause change

• The ability to make things move

Infrastructure is

• All of the above

• The way in which physical structures need to be organized in order for society to function

• A series of structures connected together

• How electricity is moved from location to location

A circuit made of wires, a lamp, a switch, and a cell is shown at the right. What change is needed for the lamp to glow? 

• The switch needs to be opened.
• The switch needs to be closed.
• The cell needs an insulator.
• The wire needs to be connected to the bottom of the cell.
