Electrons can move from one atom to another because:

• they are positively charged.

• they are negatively charged and are attracted to positive charges.

• they are neutral and do not interact with other charges.

• they are fixed in place and cannot move.

What is current electricity?

• The flow of electric charge

• The storage of electric charge

• The resistance to electric charge

• The absence of electric charge

A battery is called the _______ because it provides the 'push' that keeps the electrons moving in a circuit.

• power source

• conductor

• insulator

• resistor

The material usually used to make the inside of wires in a circuit is:

• Copper

• Plastic

• Wood

• Glass

Wires are coated in plastic or rubber because:

• they look better.

• it prevents electrical shocks.

• it makes them more flexible.

• it is cheaper than metal.
