Electric Charge and Static Electricity Repel or Attract? Which spheres are positively charged and which are negatively charged?

Electric Charge and Static Electricity Electric Fields Field lines show the direction of the force acting on a positive charge. Which charge is positive? And, which charge is negative?

Electric Current Electric Current The image shows items passing on a conveyor belt, representing a current. If there were a greater current, more plates would pass in the same amount of time. What is another way a greater current could be represented?

Electric Current Current Flow Current flow is affected by the energy of the charges and the properties of the objects that the charges flow through.

Electric Current Voltage Calculate the amount of gravitational potential energy each person has.

Electric Circuits Circuit Relationships The work Ohm did on circuits in the 1800s still applies today.

Electric Circuits Circuit Diagrams A symbol in a circuit diagram represents a part of the circuit.

Electric Circuits Series Circuits The number of bulbs in a series circuit affects each bulb’s brightness.

Electric Circuits Parallel Circuits Where on the diagram would the switches be for a floor lamp with three bulbs?

Electric Circuits How Does an Electrical Circuit Work? Use the key to fill in the blank label boxes.

Electric Power and Safety Power Ratings Power is calculated by multiplying voltage by current. Determine the current running through each of these appliances. WASHER TOASTER LAPTOP TV
