25
Materials through which electrons can easily move
conductors
26
what are examples of good conductors of electricity
Metal, acids, sea water, tapwater
27
Materials through which electrons cannot move easily
insulator
28
examples of good insulators
Wood, ceramic, Rubber, glass, plastic
29
Materials that can slow the flow of electricity without stopping it off together
resistors
30
what is resistance measured in
Ohms
31
The push behind electric current to the number of electrons flowing and to the resistance to the flow
ohm's law
32
equation of ohms law
I = V/R
33
what is voltage measured in
volts
34
turns chemical energy into electrical energy and cause the voltage that makes electrons flow
electrochemical cells
35
three main parts of electrochemical cells
Anode Cathode Electrolvte
36
two kinds of electrochemical cells
wet cells and dry cells
37
what is a wet cell and what is an example
liquid electrolyte; Car battery
38
what is a dry cell; what is an example
A gel electrolyte; flashlight battery
39
when electrons flow in only One Direction
Direct current
40
electrons first go in One Direction, then reverse, then back again
alternating current
41
A circuit in which the current must pass through all of the resistors on only one path
Series circuit
42
A circuit in which the current can travel through more than one path
parallel circuit
43
formula for electric power
P = V • I
44
what is the formula for energy
E= P•T
45
Device that moves a magnet near a wire to create a steady flow of electrons
generator
46
regions of the magnet that produce magnetic force
magnetic poles
47
how can space around a magnet through which magnetic force is exerted can be seen
with iron filings
48
where are the magnetic field the strongest
at the poles
49
why are most materials not magnetic
electron pairs cancel out Their magnetic field
50
what elements have magnetic properties
Iron, nickel, cobalt
51
when iron is placed in a strong magnetic field and when the magnetic field leaves The iron is still magnetic
permanent Iron magnet
52
when placing materials with iron in them near a strong magnetic field, once fields are gone domains will revert to original state
temporary magnets
53
how can you destroy a permanent magnet
by heating them up or dropping them
54
what does reversing current flow of the magnetic field do
it reverses the direction
55
current carrying coil of wire with many loops
electromagnets
56
what three factors are electromagnets strength affected by
of loops in the coil amount of current presence of iron core
57
what happens to charge particles when they are moving
they are deflected by magnetic fields
58
is earth a magnet
yes
59
is earths magnet stable
no
60
what is the most used appliance at home
