What is an electric current?
A flow of electrical charges
Row 1, Col 1
What is static electricity?
The buildup of electrical charges
on an object
1,2
What is false?
An unbroken circuit is called
an open circuit
1,3
What is a parallel circuit?
Type the answer for 1,4 here.
Type of circuit shown above
1,4
What are conductors?
Materials that let charges flow
through them easily
2,1
What is voltage?
The strength of a power source
2,2
What is false?
When two objects both have a
negative charge they attract
each other
2,3
What is static electricity?
The type
of
electricity
that is
being
discharged
2,4
What is a parallel circuit?
A circuit in which the electric
current follows more
than one path
3,1
What is a series circuit?
The electrical charges flow in the
same direction along the
same path
3,2
What is true?

What is resistance?
The ability of a substance to
oppose or slow down electric
current
4,1
What are transformers?
These are used to change the
voltage of electric current
4,2
What is true?
An object has a positive charge
if it has more positive particles
than negative particles
4,3
What are wires and transformers?
Electrical
energy travels
from a power
station to your
home through
____ and____.
4,4
What is a circuit breaker?
This stops the flow of charges by
switching off the current if it
gets too high
5,1
What is a fuse?
This melts and breaks the circuit
if the electric current in any
part of a circuit gets too high
5,2
What is true?
A path with little resistance is
sometimes called a series circuit
5,3
What is a circuit breaker?
This can switch off if the
current gets too high.
