KS3(4) Electricity and magnetism

Key facts for KS3 ( useful for KS4 !)

AB
will not conduct electricityinsulator
a good conductor of electricitymetal
used to measure currentammeter
rubbing an insulator will charge it withstatic electricity
two negatively charged insulators willrepel one another
one broken bulb...all bulbs offseries circuit
one broken bulb...others may stay onparallel circuit
these flow around a circuitelectrons
in a series circuit the ammeter hassame reading in any position
the force around a magnetmagnetic field
Two unlike poles of magnetsattract
Permanent magnets can bemade of iron, but not copper
increase :the number of coils/currentto make an electromagnet stronger
electric bell, relay switch, speakersuses of electromagnets
used to make a circuit complete/incompleteswitch
Adding an extra bulbs to series circuitcauses bulbs to become dimmer
Adding an extra cell(battery) to series circuitcauses bulbs to become brighter
rubbing electons off an insulator e.g perspexmakes insulator positively charged
plasticdoes not stop a magnetic field
all electrical circuitshave magnetic field & give off heat
