  • what partical orbits the nucleus
    Electrons
  • What charge dose a electron have
    a negative charge
  • define current
    current is the rate of flow of negative electrons
  • Is metal a good conductor
    true
  • how do you measure current using what 

    ammeter amps
  • can you have to negitives facing each other in a circuit
    No it has to be negative then positive
  • what dose a ammeter measuer
    amps current
  • what happened to the current when you increase the voltage
    The voltage get higher and the current increases
  • name 2 things you need for a complete circuit
    1. complete circuit 2. cell/battery
  • in a parallel cirucit is the current shared equally
    yes
  • What is the unti for resistance
    Ω
  • what happens to the current when you increase the number of bulbs.
    the current get smaller so a higher resistance
  • what happened to the bulb brightness when you inrease the number of bulbs
    Is get duller because they have to share the energy
  • What is a another term for voltage
    potential difference
  • what is the unit of measurment of potential difference
    volts
  • what dose potential difference measure
    the energy between two pints in a circuit
  • what is used to measuer potential difference
    voltmeter
  • define resistance
    how much current is stopped the thing that is stopping the current
  • dose a series circuit current split or the same
    same
  • dose a parrele split or the same
    split
  • dose a series potential split or the same
    split
  • dose a parallel potential current split or the same
    smae
  • what is the resistance equation

    V=IxR
  • if their is a higher resistance the more what to flow 

    difficult
  • If their is a longer wier is there a smaller of bigger resistance 

    there is a stronger resistance because their is a longer way to go and more atoms
  • Three metals that are magnetic
    iron nickel cobalt
  • If a north and a north were facing each other would they attract of repel
    they would repell
  • if a north and a south were facing each-other would they attract or repel
    Attract
  • Is steel magnetic why

    steel is magnetic becuase it is mostly ade up of iron
  • dose magnetic have a magnetic field
    yes
  • were is the strongest are and why of a magnets field
    the poles becuase the lines are the closest
  • dose earth have a magnetic field
    yes earth dose have a magnetic field because their is iron in the earths core
  • Which pole will move in the direction of the field lines
    the north pole
  • what flows in a circuit to create a magnetic field
    current
  • how can you increase the strength of a electromagnet
    put iron in the coil
  • how electromagnets can be used in metal recycling industry
    you can turn it of and on by using and current and it can be really strong
  • list three ways to increase the electromagnet
    increase number of coils add iron turn up the current/ voltage
  • if you increase the voltage dose the electromagnet get stronger
    yes the electromagnet gets stronger
  • A material that conducts electricity is called a... what?
    conducter
  • True or false? Plastics are used to cover electrical wires as they are good insulators.
    true
