electricity and magnetism study guide

Questions include pictures and animations as clues to what the answers will be. Also, possible test questions.

AB
The smallest building blocks of matter, atoms
A circuit that starts and finishes in the same place, closed circuit
electicity that jumps from place to another, static electricity
The outer part of atom that can be stolen making electricity, electrons
rubbing a needle and then placing it on a cork floating in water creates, compass
when electricity builds and jumps across air which is not a coductor, electtrical discharge
When a electrical charge is added to metal creating, electonmagnet
two ends of don't attract each other they are, the same charges, positive or negative
A substance that doesn't let electrons pass through a substance or be shared like the black rubber on the wires is an, insulator
a substance that allows electrons to move and be shared like the metal on the doorknob is a, conductor
The part of an atom that is black and is negatively charged, electron
The part of the atom that is red and postively charged, proton
electricity that moves in one direction like the top pictureis a, series circuit
electricity that moves in more than one direction like the bottom picture is a, parallel circuit
to increase the strenght of an electromagnet you needs to, increase the number of loops around the metal object
anything that has a conductor, switch, energy source, and electrical device is a, circuit
Why does the hair on your head stand up when you rub it with a balloon, hairs all have the same charge and are repelling each other
Which one of the images would have the more protons than electrons, positive charge
Atom with equal amounts of electrons and protons, neutral charge
The string and key Ben Franklin is using are, conductors
This represents what each loop is like in an, electromagnet
frequency (hertz) or pitch, the number of vibrations in a particle in one second
parts of the ear are divided into the, outer, middle, and inner ear
sound waves always move in a, straight line
sound moves in all directions like, waves in water
the more something vibrates the higher the, pitch
medium, sound can only travel if it can go through a medium like gas, solid, or liquid
the graater the frequency the greater the number of ________ in one second, vibrations (hertz)
the greater the energy or movement of the particles the __________ the sound, louder (amplitude)
