  4. What do we call the sudden movement of an electric charge from the object where it is built up onto another nearby object? Discharge

  5. What are some examples of an electrical discharge?

  6. What causes lightning? Water and ice rub together to build up an electrical charge. The static electricity is discharged from the thundercloud as lightning.

  7. What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

  8. What are examples of conductors and insulators?

  9. What is a circuit? The path that electricity flows through

  10. What do we call electricity that flows through a circuit? Current electricity

  11. What is the difference between an open and closed circuit?

  12. What controls the current in a circuit? The switch

  13. What is a battery and what does it do in a circuit? A battery is a portable form of electricity. It can be used as the source of electricity in a circuit.

  14. Series circuit or parallel circuit? What is the difference between them?

  15. What can electricity be transformed into? What are some examples?

  16. How do you make an electromagnet?

  17. Who invented the light bulb? Thomas Edison (“The Wizard of Menlo Park”)

  18. What was Benjamin Franklin’s famous experiment with electricity? What did he discover?

  19. Who developed a formula for describing voltage differences? Michael Faraday
