What is the flow of an electric charge through a conductor?

• Electric force

• Electric current

• Static electricity

• Magnetism

This a property of certain types of materials that allows them to attract or repel other objects that have this property.

• Conductor

• Electric force

• Electric circuit

• Magnetism

What do you call any type of object through which an electric current can flow?

• Conductor

• Magnetism

• Static electricity

• Electric force

This is the force of attraction between two electrically charged objects or a charge object and a neutral object.

• Static electricity

• Conductor

• Electric circuit

• Electric force

What is the buildup of an electrical charge in or on the surface of an object? A common cause of this is the transfer of electrons when two objects are rubbed together.

• Static electricity

• Insulators

• Magnetism

• Electric force

What is the effect of the flow of electrons through a conductor? It powers homes, cars, and other things.

• Magnetism

• Electricity

• Insulator

• Electric circuit

To make one of these, you need a power source and a path for the electric current to flow through.

• Insulators

• Static electricity

• Magnetism

• Electric circuit

This is any type of object through which an electric current cannot flow (glass, rubber).

• Insulators

• Static electricity

• Magnetism

• Electric circuit

What are used to protect people from electric currents?

• Static electricity

• Insulators

• Magnets

• Conductors

Examples of this are lightening, static electricity, and the movement of electricity in power lines.
