Electricity Study Guide: 

1. Static Electricity
   • Happens when + and - charges are NOT balanced.
2. Electric Current 
   • Electric charge moving
3. Series Circuit
   • Electric charges only flow in one path 
     • ‘One out all out’
4. Parallel Circuit
   • Electric charges flows in 2+ paths
     • ‘If one out, still lit’
5. Magnetism 
   • It’s a force that acts on moving electric charge and magnetic materials that are near a magnet
6. Magnetic Field 
   • An invisible force that goes out in all directions
7. Electromagnet 
   • A coil of wire with many loops which an electric current passes. 
8. Resistance/Insulator 
   • A material that does NOT allow electric charges to flow through easily. 
9. Conductor
   • A material that allows electric charges to flow through easily.
10. Closed vs. Open Circuit
    • Closed: Electricity can flow!
      2. Open: Electricity can’t flow! 
      
      

Additionally! 
-An effect of Earth's magnetic field that can sometimes be seen in the sky is called the Northern Lights. 
-Metal is an example of a conductor.
-Rubber is a insulator. 
-When two objects have different electric charges they attract each other. 
-When two objects have the same electric charges they repel each other 
-A machine that produces electricity by moving a magnet back and forth is a generator.
