what kind of circuit provides a complete path for electricityclosed
what kind of circuit does not provide a complete path for electricityopen
What are the two special spots that need to be touched for a bulb to lightbattery and bulb
In order to make a bulb burn brighter what could you doadd dry cells
Christmas tree lights are an example of what kind of circuitseries
Christmas tree lights are series circuits, becauseif one goes out they all go out
nonconductors of electricityinsulators
5 examples of insulatorsrubber, styrofoam, plastic, cloth, and wood
things that conduct electricity wellmetals
the wires inside a lightbulb are calledfilaments
all matter is made up ofatoms
atoms are made up of negativeelectrons
atoms are made up of positiveprotrons
atoms are made up of neutralneutrons
the part of an atom that moves around and causes you to get shocked during static electricityelectrons
The reason you get shocked when you walk across a carpet on a cool, dry dayelectrons transfer
the ends of magnets are callednorth and south poles
you can tell where the poles of a magnet are byfinding which end iron filings are attracted, they are the most powerful
two circle magnets on a pencil willrepel each other or the poles will push away
how do you make a temporary magnetrub iron, nickel, or cobalt against a real magnet
what two things does an electomagnet combineelectricity and magnetism
how can an electomagnet lose its magnetismbreaks the circuit
5 things in the room that are magneticboard, cabinet, chalk tray, door frame, candle lid
which metals are magneticnickel, cobalt and iron
What safety rule would you use to prevent a baby from getting a shock from an outletuse covers
What safety rule would you use to prevent shock when working on a toasterunplug all electrical appliances before working on them
If you connect a lightbulb sitting upon a postive end of a battery and the negative end of a battery with a wire will it light?yes
If a lightbulb is sitting on a postive end of a battery and you connect the negative and postive ends of the battery will it lightno
If a lightbulb is lying on its side on the negative end of a battery and you connect the end of the bulb and the postive end will it light?yes
If a lightbulb is lying on its side on the positive end of a battery and you connect the side of the bulb with the negative end of the battery will it light?no
If a lightbulb is on the side of a battery and you connect it to the positive end of the battery will it light?no
If you connect the positive and negative ends of a battery and the lightbulb is touching the middle of the wire will it light?no
If you connect the positive end of a battery and the end of a lightbulb will it light?no
If you connect the negative end of a battery with the metal side of a lightbulb which is setting near the positive end but not directly on the positve poleof a battery will it light?yes
If a lightbulb is sitting on the negative end of a battery and you connect the metal side of the bulb and the positive end will it light?yes
What metal is not magnetic?copper
What part of a magnet has the greatest attraction?poles
Like polesrepel each other
Unlike polesattract each other
What is a cow magnet used forFarmers have the cow swallow the magnet so that anything metal eaten by the cow would be attracted by the magnet
