1.

What is electricity?

a)

A material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator; its electrical conductivity can be precisely altered by a manufacturing process.

b)

A form of energy made up of charges that can produce light, heat, or motion.

c)

is the measure of the attraction that an atom has for the electrons orbiting about its nucleus.

d)

Is the building blocks of our universe.

2.

What is Ohm's Law?

a)

Is the measure of the attraction that an atom has for the electrons orbiting about its nucleus.

b)

A form of energy made up of charges that can produce light, heat, or motion.

c)

Opposition to the flow of current is termed resistance. The fact that a wire can become hot from the flow of current is evidence of resistance. Conductors have very little resistance. Insulators have large amounts of resistance.

d)

The practical unit of resistance is the ohm designated by the Greek letter omega: Ω.  A resistor is an electronic component designed specifically to provide resistance.
