Electricity and Magnetism By: Victoria
Atom A atom has 3 main parts that are proton, neutron, and electron. there is also a nucleus and a electron cloud that circles the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge (-) Protons have a positive charge (+) Neutrons are neutral
Series circuit A series circuit has only one way energy can flow so if one bulb is disconnected it means both bulbs are disconnected.
Parallel circuit A parallel circuit has more than one way for energy to flow so if one bulb is disconnected the other one is not.
Static electricity Static electricity is when one materials rubs off electrons to another object giving it a electric charge.
Magnet Magnets attract to most metals but do not attract to other objects such as wood, plastic, and other insulators.
Poles Just like earth there is a north pole and a south pole. Opposites attract and the same poles repel.
Magnetic Field The reason why when you are putting a north and a north pole together they repel is because the invisible magnetic fields are working against each other.
Magnets In Are Lives We use magnets a lot in are lives and don’t even know it! try spotting magnets in your day and you might be surprised.
Electromagnet Electromagnets are when you use electricity to power a piece of metal into a magnet so you can turn it on and off.
Permanent and Temporary A permanent magnet is a magnet that you can not turn on and off. A temporary magnet is a magnet that you can turn on and off.
Summary I hope you liked my power point and that you learned something.
