A circuit needs to be ______ to produce electricity.
Closed
What is the difference between a conductor and insulator?
An insulator does not allow the flow of electrons while a conductor does. Metals are good conductors and rubber is a good insulator.
Why are parallel circuits used more in houses? Explain how they are used in outlets and light switches.
Parallel circuits are used in houses so that we can tap into the flow of electricity when we need to. We can use outlets or light switches to access electricit
What is static electricity? How does it work?
Static electricity means the increase of electric charge on the surface of objects. This causes matter to become magnetic as opposite charges are attracted
A circuit where the flow of electricity goes in one direction but has more than one path. If the circuit opens, the flow will continue down another path. What kind of circuit is this?
Parallel Circuit
A circuit where the flow of electricity goes in one direction and has no other paths. If the circuit opens, the flow stops. What kind of circuit is this?
Series Circuit
What is a turbine?
A turbine is a machine that transforms rotational energy from a fluid that is picked up by a rotor system into usable work or energy.
