  • What will happen to this circuit if a rubber eraser is placed between the battery and one of the wires connected to it?
    The rubber eraser acts as an insulator. The circuit will be broken, so the light bulb will not light up.
  • A washing machine is an example of transforming...
    c. electricity into motion energy
  • What are two ways you can increase the force of an electromagnet?
    Add more coils, use a stronger battery, use iron
  • What object do you create when you combine electricity from a battery with a wire and a screw?
    Electromagnet and/or a magnetic field
  • If a magnet is broken into two parts, what poles will seek each other?
    Each magnet will have its own poles. North and south will seek each other.
  • Which of the following is a conductor? 1.Rubber 2.Chalk 3.Gold 4.Glass
    3.Gold
  • What is a conductor?
    A material through which an electric charge can move easily.
  • You see two balloons that attract one another. What can you conclude about the balloons?
    a. the balloons do not have the same charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT! :)
  • What is one example of a resistor?
    Teacher assess- is their object something that uses the energy in a circuit? (light bulb, toaster filament...)
  • What is an insulator?
    A material through which an electric charge moves with difficulty.
  • What is a resistor?
    An object that uses the energy in a circuit.
  • Why are insulators used?
    It makes electrically charged objects safe to handle.
  • Why does a compass needle point in a north-south direction?
    a. the needle reacts to Earth's magnetic poles
  • Electric current cannot flow in a series circuit if...
    b. There is a break in the circuit
