22. What is the name of a path that has only one way for the current to flow?

23. Series Circuit

24. Which is a good conductor of electricity? A.Copper B. Glass C. Plastic D. rubber

25. Copper

26. What is a stream of electrons moving through a copper wire called?

27. Current electricity

28. Ryan wants to build a small electric generator. What two items must he have to make his generator?

29. Coil of wire and magnet

30. What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

31. A parallel circuit there is more than one path for electrons to follow. A series circuit has only one path for the current to follow.

38. Suppose you are testing the strength of an electromagnet. You are changing the number of loops of wire. You are measuring how many paper clips the electromagnet can pick up. Describe a table that you would use to record the data.

39. You would come up with a two column table with headings “Loops” and “Paper Clips Picked Up”

40. Aastha and her family visited a large dam, where they were told that the kinetic energy of falling water was changed to electrical energy. What kind of power did this dam produce? a.Chemical energy b. Solar power c. Geothermal energy d.Hydroelectric power

41. Hydroelectric power

42. Batteries supply a stream of electrons to power toys and electronics. When some batteries wear out, they can be recharged. Explain how this might be possible.

43. Electrons move from one place in a battery, through the toy or other device, to another place in the battery. The direction of electron flow is reversed to recharge a battery.
