This is the type of current used in this country to power our homes and industries.

Electricity can be pushed over great distances if it is sent out in a very high voltage. We use this to step the current down to 120v for our houses.

Electricity is put onto this to be delivered to the customers. There are only 4 in North America

Charged atoms that gather onto an object are called:

Free electrons always want to go to

Electrons have the ability to do work

Electricity flows in a closed path called a

A complete circuit MUST contain all of these things EXCEPT:

A circuit that has a break in the wire is called a

Batteries were discovered because of

The potential difference between terminals of a battery creates a force or pressure on the electrons in the circuit. This is called:

The numerical value for how fast current flows is:

The amount of resistance in a circuit is called

True/False - We can make electricity.

The type of current we use in our homes is

Our homes and transmission lines are wired in _______ so if one part of the system fails, the rest of the circuit will work.

The main problem with a series circuit is:

A potential difference or Imbalance causes:

An Ion is

This type of electricity is the gathering of charged particles on an object

We use a ground wire because

The law of conservation of charge states

Which of these is not a way to generate static electricity.

This creates a force around a charged object that will push or pull on nearby objects.

In a direct current circuit, electrons flow from

This does not allow electrons to flow freely through it.

Voltage measures

Amperes measures

Ohms measures

This law tells us that voltage = current x resistance
