Connects objects to cells separately so there are 2 paths for electricity to flow
series circuit
parallel circuit
terminals
filament
If too much electricity is flowing through a circuit wires heat up and can start a fire
short circuit
parallel circuit
series circuit
terminals
A switch that protects circuits from dangerous high currents- the switch will push open to create and open circuit
fuse
filament
circuit breaker
amperes
movement of charge in static electricity
fuse
resistor
current
discharge
Allows electricity to change into other forms like light or heat
resistor
cell
fuse
filament
A material where electricity does flow easily
insulator
conductor
filament
circuit
When electricity flows- a current is moving
static electricity
parallel circuit
current-electricity
dishcharge
electricity flows 1 way one path
series circuit
static electricity
short circuit
parallel circuit
Made up of parts that work together to allow electricity to flow
resistor
cell
circuit
terminal
Changes chemical energy into electrical energy
resistor
cell
fuse
terminal
A way to protect a circuit from dangerous high currents- the strip melts creating an open circuit
resistor
fuse
amperes
cell
Measurement of how much current is flowing in a circuit
amperes
voltage
charge
terminal
A material that does not allow electricity flow easily
conductor
resistor
fuse
insulator
What are the types of cells
dry-9 volt battery
filament
terminal
wet- car battery
Build up of electrical charge on material -not flowing
static electricity
current electriciity
series circuit
parallel circuit
If there is a gap or break in in the electrical flow- there is no electricity it is called
closed circuit
short circuit
open circuit
discharge
Electricity flows freely it is considered a ..... no breaks
closed circuit
short circuit
fuse
open circuit
What happens when you pull a bulb out of a series circuit
electricity will find a different path rest of bulbs light
the electricity will flow around and the other bulbs light up
It will create a gap or open circuit- no bulbs light up
the bulb will still light either way
What happens when you pull a bulb out of a parallel circuit
electricity has another path to follow- the rest of the bulbs will still light up
none of the bulbs will light up you created an open circuit
only every other bulb will light up
the bulb you pulled out will still light
What is the best explanation, in a cloud, when lightning is getting ready to strike?
particles rub together, they seperate and the negative charges go to upper part of cloud and positive go down. The positive charges keep building and building and soon strike the negative ground
The positive and negative charges build up together in the cloud and they eventually strike each other in the cloud and travel to the ground
particles rub together, and separate positive charges go to upper part of cloud - negative charges go down. The negative -keeps building up and builds up so much that lightning strikes the Positive ground
particles rub and rub together so hard that they eventually build up a strike and a bolt of lightening reaches ground
