What type of electricity is harnessed by humans?

Back

Current electricity is the flow of electric charge, which is used to power devices.

Front

Which particle has a negative charge?

Back

Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge.

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity or heat to easily pass through it, like metals.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity or heat to easily move through it, like rubber or wood.

Front

How can you test if a material is a good conductor?

Back

You can test a material by putting it in a circuit and seeing if the lightbulb turns on.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects.

Front

What is the role of protons in an atom?

Back

Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.

Front

What happens when you connect a battery to a circuit?

Back

Connecting a battery to a circuit creates a path for current to flow, powering devices.

Front

What is the difference between current and static electricity?

Back

Current electricity is the flow of electric charge, while static electricity is the build-up of charge.

Front

What is a simple circuit?

Back

A simple circuit consists of a power source, a conductor, and a load (like a lightbulb) that uses electricity.
