WHO HAS... A source of electricity that contains two cells that hold chemicals and produce electricity between the cells?: I HAVE...
"batteries"
WHO HAS... a battery that has chemicals in side it in the form of a paste and produces electricity?: I HAVE...
"dry cell"
WHO HAS... The definition for Electricity: I HAVE...
a continuous flow of negative charges (electrons) that create an electric current.
WHO HAS... A type of electricity that is produced naturally?: I HAVE...
"static electricity"
WHO HAS... examples of an electric current?: I HAVE...
The shock you get by touching a doorknob,
A lightning bolt,
To light a light bulb or run a computer
WHO HAS... a type of electricity that is produced by friction when certain objects rub together, building an electric charge between them?: I HAVE...
"static electricity"
WHO HAS... A small magnet that can turn freely and points north?: I HAVE...
compass
WHO HAS... Electric circuit defined?: I HAVE...
any path along which electrons can flow
WHO HAS... A circuit with objects connected in a single path?: I HAVE...
series circuit
WHO Has... a circuit where there are two or more pathways for it?: I HAVE...
"parallel circuit"
WHO HAS... Conductor defined?: I HAVE...
materials that electricity flows through easily.
WHO HAS... Examples of how electricity is used in our homes?: I HAVE...
produces, light, heat, sound and runs appliances such as ovens, television sets, and steros and powers light bulbs.
WHO HAS... A famous inventor that used a kite experiment to prove that electricity in the air produces lightning?: I HAVE...
Benjamin Franklin
WHO HAS... "voltage" defined?: I HAVE...
the force of the electricity as it travels along a pathway
WHO HAS... A famous inventor who developed the light bulb?: I HAVE...
Thomas Alva Edison
WHO HAS... this allows for example the electricity to flow from the battery through the wire, to the appliance or light bulb, and back to the battery?: I HAVE...
closed circuit
WHO HAS... Examples of sources used to produce electricity?: I HAVE...
sunlight,wind,water,fossil fuel, nuclear power and batteries
WHO HAS... 2 words which are measures to describe electricity: I HAVE...
volts and amperes (amps)
WHO HAS... An object that pulls iron and steel things to it?: I HAVE...
magnet
WHO HAS... Examples of good conductors for an electric circuit?: I HAVE...
copper and aluminum (the atoms in metals don't hold electrons tightly)
WHO HAS... The space around a magnet where magnetism acts?: I HAVE...
Magnetic field
WHO HAS... a circuit where there is only one pathway for the current?: I HAVE...
"series" circuit
WHO HAS... An object that electric current does not pass easily through?: I HAVE...
insulator
WHO HAS... It is "broken" and does not let the electricity complete its travel through the entire circuit?: I HAVE...
"open circuit"
WHO HAS... What an iron bar with coil wrapped around it when electric current flows through the coil is called?: I HAVE...
Electromagnet
WHO HAS... "resistance" defined?: I Have...
a term used to describe how well electricity will flow in a material. Materials that resist electric current are important because they allow electric energy to be changed into other forms.
WHO HAS... the path electricity flows through: I HAVE...
CIRCUIT
WHO HAS... the pathway taken by an electric current: I HAVE...
circuit
WHO HAS .... certain iron-bearing metals that attract other such metals: I HAVE...
cobalt, nickel

lodestone is a rock with magnetic attraction
WHO HAS... A Danish physicist, accidentally discovered that an electric current has magnetic effects?: I HAVE...
Hans Christian Oersted
WHO HAS... A tiny bit of an atom that has a positive charge?: I HAVE...
proton
WHO HAS... A place on a magnet where the magnet is the strongest: I HAVE...
pole
WHO HAS... The British physicist who discovered the process of creating electric current from an electromagnet?: I HAVE...
Michael Faraday
WHO HAS... the vocabulary word for how well electricity flows through a material?: I HAVE...
resistance
WHO HAS... Insulators defined?: I HAVE...
materials that don't let electricity flow at all. These materials don't carry electrons.
These materials keep wires from touching each other and completing an electrical circuit.
WHO HAS... A tiny bit of an atom that has a negative charge: I HAVE...
electron
WHO HAS... A circuit in which current has a separate path for each object: I HAVE...
Parallel circuit
WHO HAS... electricity that flows through a circuit?: I HAVE...
electric current
WHO HAS... A machine that uses an energy source and a magnet to make electricity?: I HAVE...
generator
WHO Has... Examples of good insulators?: I HAVE...
rubber, plastic, glass, and air
WHO HAS... The force around a magnet?: I HAVE...
Magnetism
