What is a circuit?
A complete pathway or loop for electricity to flow
100
What is an energy source?
Something such as coal, wood, oil or gas used to make electricity
100
What is a switch
Something you use to turn a light or other equipment on or off with
100
What is an insulator
Something that electricity CAN NOT flow through
200
What is a closed circuit?
A complete pathway that lets electricity travel without being turned off and on
200
What is a filament
A thin thread that becomes very hot and lets off light as an electric current runs through it
200
What is a system
When you put a lot of things together to work as one thing ( a set of interacting parts that work together to form a unified whole)
200
What is a conductor
Something that electricity CAN flow through
300
What is an open circuit?
An incomplete pathway or loop that can stop the flow of electricity (it can be turned off and on)
300
What is light bulb
Something that gives off light as an electric current is going through a thin filament that glows with a lot of heat (we put them in lamps)
300
What is a turbine
Something that has a lot of blades that is turned by a liquid and as it turns, it changes machine made energy into electrical energy
300
What is a nonrenewable resource
Things that people use from our earth/world for energy that cannot be put back and we are running out of them such as coal, oil and gas
400
What is a short circuit?
What happens when an electric current flows along the wrong path (the electricity goes somewhere that it wasn't supposed to go)
400
What is fuel
Something that can be burned to make heat or power
400
What is a generator
Something that is used to change machine energy into electrical energy by passing magnets through an electric field
400
What is a renewable resource
Things that people use for energy that we never run out of because they are always there naturally like wind, sun (solar power), and water (hydropower)
500
What is an electrical pathway
Something that is used for electricity to flow through, usually a wire
500
What is electrocute
To kill or be seriously injured by an electric shock; something that is dangerous and can cause harm or serious injury
500
What is a hazard
A danger or risk. Often time with dangerous electrical areas, you will find a sign that displays this
