Unit 4 Study Guide

Fill in the blank:

Word Bank:

Electric Motor negative electrons closed load add resistance positive electric generator
open

Static Electricity is generated when two different objects are rubbed together, this is because of friction
between the two objects causing __negative charge_______ to move from one object to the other.

When a circuit is ____closed____, there is a break in the circuit and current CAN NOT FLOW.

When a circuit is ___open_____, the circuit is complete and current CAN FLOW.

A ___load___ is anything in a circuit that is using (transforming) the electricity. An example would be a
light bulb, or a fan.

Any load in a circuit will _____add resistance______ to the circuit.

An ___________Electric generator_________ converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

An _________Electric Motor___________ converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

In a circuit, electricity flows from _____negative_______ to ______positive______.

Highlight the correct choice in the questions below:

Two positively charged objects will: Repel or Attract

Two negatively charged objects will: Repel or Attract

A positive object and a negative object will: Repel or Attract

Picture Search

Using the internet, find an image for each term below and provide a brief definition:

Term Image Definition


Parallel Circuit a circuit with more than one
path of electricity

Series Circuit a series circuit is a circuit with


only one path of electricity

Short Answer:

What happens to the strength of an electromagnet as you INCREASE the number of coils? it is much
stronger and can pick up more items made out of iron

What happens to the strength of an electromagnet as you DECREASE the voltage of the battery? it is
weaker and cant pick up many things

Multiple Choice
Timmy has a closed circuit of wire and a magnet as shown in the picture above. Which option best
describes what will happen if Timmy moves the magnet continuously?

a. Nothing will happen!


b. The magnet will overheat
c. Current will flow through the circuit of wire.

Definition and Example

In the chart below, give me the definition of each term and four examples.

Term Definition Four Examples

Conductor Any material that lets electrons Nickel, copper, gold, and silver
flow easily through

Insulator any material that doesn’t allow glass,wood,rubber,and plastic


electrons flow easily through

Semi-Conductor a material that at first doesn’t silicon,germanium, gallium


allow electrons to flow through arsenide, and selenium
but once heated up it allows
electrons to flow easily

Electric Generator a device that transfers Cars, nail guns, Sailboat, Cruise
mechanical energy into ship
electrical energy

Electric Motor a device that converts electrical ceiling fan, Air Conditioner,
energy into mechanical energy Blender, and Microwave

In the cart below, give me the definition for each term.

Term Definition

Voltage the pressure from an electrical circuit's power


source that pushes charged electrons through a
conducting loop

Current the flow of electrons

Resistance measure of opposition in an electrical current

Electromagnetic induction the production of an electromotive force across


an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic
feild

Look at the cartoon of an electrical current. Study the 3


characters to figure out which represents voltage, current,
and resistance.

1. Who does figure a represents the resistor because


Character A he look like he is holding character c
represent? Why? back

2. Who does b represents the current because It is


Character B forcing C to go forward
represent? Why?

3. Who does c is the voltage because it is the only one


Character C that is getting affected by the resistor
represent? Why?

Cause and Effect


Answer the following question based on the image above.

If bulb A burns out, what other bulbs are affected? ___fgc___

If bulb B burns out, what other bulbs are affected? ___ac___

If Bulb G burns out, what other bulbs are affected? ___cfa___

Use, like, paint or something I guess

On the image above, draw arrows to indicate the direction the electricity is flowing.
