Conductors and Insulators | Parts of a circuit. | The stuff that was on that one note sheet with the rectangles. | Also conductors and insulators because i'm running out of ideas lol | Miscellaneous |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is an insulator
Plastic
|
What is a battery.
This part of a circuit is what powers the entire thing.
|
What is a generator.
This device converts mechanical energy (gasoline) to electrical energy.
|
What is a conductor?
Iron
|
What ARE conductors?
These are materials in which electrical charge moves easily.
|
What is conductor
Gold
|
What is a switch.
This part of a circuit allows the electrical flow to powered on and off.
|
What is current?
This is the rate at which charge is flowing, and is measured in amps.
|
What is an insulator?
Bismuth
|
What are insulators.
These are materials that DO NOT let electrical charge move easily.
|
What is conductor
Copper
|
What is a fuse.
This piece of a circuit is a small piece of metal if current becomes too high, opening the circuit.
|
What is voltage.
This is the difference in charge between two points.
|
What is an insulator.
Wood
|
What are ohms?
These are the units that resistance is measured in.
|
What is insulator
Glass
|
What are resistors.
If you open your phones back open you will see many of these componets.
|
What is resistance.
This is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit
|
what is an insulator
Air
|
What are volts?
These are the units that voltage is measured in.
|
What is conductor.
Bronze
|
What is a motor
This part of a circuit converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
|
What are semiconductors.
These materials conduct electricity BUT only under certain circumstances.
|
What is a conductor.
Pencil lead
|
What are amps?
These are the units that current is measured in.
