Electricity is caused by _________.
What is the build up of electrical charges in one place called?
Causes by friction EX: -- static cling clothing from the dryer. --lightening. --hair to raise when rubbed by ballon.
--shocked when you touch a handle after walking across surface
electrical current flowing electricity
Electrostatic
static electricity
Electrical grounding
frictional conductor/insulator
Electronics
Particles _______ to one another causing electrostatic to occur
attract
repel
nothing changes
Items that have opposite charges ______ causing the 2 to pull toward on another
EX: Na+ Cl-
--Aluminum coke can rolling toward a charged rod
attract
repel
cancel out
sing song
Items that have like charges ______ causing the 2 to push away from one another
EX: Na+ Li+
--a packing peanut can push away from a charged rod
attract
repel
cancel out
sing song
If the distance between two electric charges is reduced what happens to the electrostatic attraction/re[ulsion force?
increases
decresase
is unchanged
distane and force are unrelated
If the charges _____________ what happens to the electrostatic attraction/re[ulsion E force?
Remember the size of the charge works like the size of a sun or planet, mass affects attracting G force.
increases charge increase force
decrease charge decrease force
increases charge decrease force
decrease charge increase force
increases or decrease charge no change to force

required by law of safety when wiring a house
friction
grounding
conduct
induct

Voltage drops after each resistor/bulb (V1 + V2 + V3 ...)
Current is constant (I1 = I2 = I3 ...)
Equ. Resistance adding up restors (R1 + R2 + R3 ...)
when one light is off the rest will not stay on
Series circuit
Parallel circuit
I have no idea
grapes
Voltage is delivered equally to each branch (V1 = V2 = V3 ...)
Current is altered based on resistor (I1 + I2 + I3 ...)
Resistance, adding the inverse of each resistor (1/R 1 +1/R2 +1/R3...)
when one light is off the others remain on
Series circuit
Parellel circuit
Neight
Nor the other
Current flowing in one direction
(flashlight, device not plugged in ie phone or laptop using battery)
Alternet
Direct
Indiferent
Transverse
Current changes direction
(appliance plugged in to the wall. the house to power lines)par
Alternet
Direct
Indiferent
Transverse
Levels up and down as needed
why you can use the same block for iphone, ipad, and laptop
Coils tightly wound on one side and loser spread out on the other
Transformer
Deformer
magic
blahhh
