Term
| conservation of energy - relationship to electricity |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| relationship between electron movement and ability to do work |
|
Definition
| when electrons move, it creates a charge, producing energy, which is the ability to work (like a lightbulb) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The result of the motion of charged particles across a conductor |
|
|
Term
| What does physical contact do to electrons? |
|
Definition
| Electrons can be transferred from one object to another (static electricity) |
|
|
Term
| What does electric current need? |
|
Definition
| Voltage source and a complete circuit |
|
|
Term
| Static electricity occurs because? |
|
Definition
| electric charges build up on surface of material |
|
|
Term
| Are magnetic force and electrical force related? |
|
Definition
| Yes - positive and negative electrons |
|
|
Term
| characteristics that make good insulator and conductor |
|
Definition
insulator: rubber, wood, glass - charged particles cant move through easily
conductors: material that electricity can omve through easily - iron copper and aluminum |
|
|
Term
| What are the requirements to make a light bulb light up? |
|
Definition
| full circuit, has to have a dry cell battery, flow of electrons |
|
|
Term
| How are electrons transferred in static discharge? |
|
Definition
| electrons are transferred to an object creating an imbalence of positive and negative charges |
|
|
Term
| Why is static electricity more prevalent in winter? |
|
Definition
| Because of lack of humidity -- humidity in the air makes it harder for electricity pass through? |
