Electricity and Magnetism

Front

What is a material that SLOWS or STOPS the flow of electrons?

Back

Insulators are materials that impede the flow of electric current.

Front

Does this represent attraction or repulsion?

Back

Attraction occurs when two objects with opposite charges come together.

Front

What is the process of transferring charge by touching one object?

Back

Conduction is the process of transferring charge through direct contact.

Front

Does this show attraction or repulsion?

Back

Repulsion occurs when two objects with the same charge push away from each other.

Front

Which item sticks to a magnet?

Back

Paper clips are ferromagnetic and will stick to a magnet.

Front

What is the definition of a conductor?

Back

Conductors are materials that allow the flow of electric current with minimal resistance.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects.

Front

What is the principle of electromagnetic induction?

Back

Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current by changing the magnetic field around a conductor.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be observed.
