Name an object that transforms electrical energy to sound energy?
What kind of electricity is it when you get a shock from a doorknob?
parallel circuit
electric current
insulator
series circuit
conductor
loop around the circuit
1-any break in the loop 2-burnt out or missing bulb
The current will still flow through the unbroken loops (ex: Christmas lights).
energy source (battery), light bulb (resistor), switch, and wire
an electric charge
gold, copper, and metal
rubber, glass, plastic, or chalk
between the battery and light bulb
They all have metal in them.
Plastic is a good insulator.
light and heat
light bulb (resistor), wire, and a battery (energy source)
The circuit is broken and the current stops flowing.
The circuit is working and the current is flowing through it.
The switch allows the circuit to open and close (turn on and off).
a resistor
atoms
a positive charge, a negative charge, and no charge
radio, television, cellphone, laptop, computer, etc.
static electricity
