Atoms, Magnets & Electricity

Question 1

atom

Answer 1

the smallest particle of any substance, also called microscopic building blocks

Question 2

3 particle that make up an atom, what are their chares, and location within the atom

Answer 2

elctrons, protons, neurtons / electron - is negative, proton is positive, neutron is neutral
Protons - located in the nucleus. Have a positive charge.
Neutrons - Located in the nucleus. Have a neutral charge.
Electrons - Spin around the nucleus. Have a negative charge.

what is a conductor

Answer 12

lets electricty flow through it

Question 13

what is an insulator

Answer 13

doesn’t let electricty flow through it

Question 14

what is a resistor

Answer 14

lets electricty flow but not that much

Question 15

describe a series circuit and a parallel circuit

Answer 15

series - 3 light bulbs and connect to battery

parallel - 1 light bulb, battery 2 other wires that go across

Question 16

describe an electromagnet

Answer 16

A simple electromagnet is constructed by winding a wire around a cylinder (e.g., empty thread spool) and attaching the ends of the wire to the poles (+ and -) of a battery.
