electric current
3
What is an electromagnet?
4
The difference between a bar magnet and an
electromagnet
5
What is an electromagnet needs electricity to be
magnetic and a bar magnet does not?
6
Two ways to increase the strength of an
electromagnet
7
Add more coils or increase the voltage of the
power source
8
An electromagnet is only magnetic if it has an
_______ passing through its coils.
9
Electric current
10
What would be the effect of a scientist adding a
second battery to an electromagnet?
11
The electromagnet would get stronger.
12
A continuous flow of negative charges.
13
What is current electricity?
14
A path along which negative charges can flow.
15
What is a circuit?
16
A material that allows electricity to pass
through it easily.
17
What is a conductor?
18
A material that does not allow electricity to
flow through it.
19
What is an insulator?
20
When it is open it does not allow electricity to
flow through the circuit.
21
What is a switch?
22
The build up of electrical charges on a object.
23
What is static electricity?
24
When static electric charges jump off a charged
object.
25
What is an electric discharge?
26
This rule explains why your hair sticks up
after you comb it on a winter day.
27
What is like charges repel?
28
Rubbing an object with wool causes these charges
to move to the object.

sign.
41
What is stay away?
42
A type of circuit that has only one path for
electricity to flow.
43
What is a series circuit?
44
A type of circuit that has more than one path for
electricity to flow.
45
What is a parallel circuit?
46
If you unscrew a bulb in this circuit all of the
bulbs will go out.
47
What is a series circuit?
48
In this circuit, if you unscrew a bulb the rest
will stay lit.
49
What is a parallel circuit?
50
This is used to open or close a circuit.
51
What is a switch?
