Back

The force of magnetism is stronger when magnets are closer together.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity well. Examples include rubber, wood, and cotton.

Front

Which of the following is NOT an example of an insulator?

Back

Front

What type of circuit allows multiple paths for current to flow?

Back

A parallel circuit allows multiple paths for current to flow.

Front

What forms at a divergent boundary in tectonic plates?

Back

A mid-ocean ridge forms at a divergent boundary.

Front

Where is Magnetic North approximately located on Earth?

Back

Magnetic North is approximately located at the South Pole.

Front

What is the definition of a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected end-to-end, so that the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is the role of a conductor in an electrical circuit?

Back

A conductor allows electricity to flow through it easily, examples include metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

Back

A conductor allows electricity to flow easily, while an insulator resists the flow of electricity.

Front

What geological feature is created by tectonic plates moving apart?

Back

A mid-ocean ridge is created by tectonic plates moving apart.
