$100 Question from H1

Knowledge:Static electricity means the electrons are not doing what?

$100 Answer from H1

Moving

$200 Question from H1

Knowledge: (Medium)The movement of what part of the atomcauses electricity and what is its charge?

$200 Answer from H1

The part of the atom is the electron and it is negatively charged.

$300 Question from H1

Which of the following is not true:A) The build up of charges on an object is called static

electricity.B) Static electricity moves in a path.C) A conductor allows electrons to move through it easily.D) An insulator does not allow electrons to move through it

easily.E) An atom usually has the same number of plus and minus

charges.

$300 Answer from H1

Which of the following is not true:A) The build up of charges on an object is called static electricity.B)X Static electricity moves in a path. (does not move)C) A conductor allows electrons to move through it easily.D) An insulator does not allow electrons to move through it easily.E) An atom usually has the same number of plus and minus charges.

$400 Question from H1

Analysis: (Medium)What is the relationship of friction in moving clouds, induction and lightning.

$400 Answer from H1

The movement of clouds and frictionmakes static electricity and induction is how it is released down to the earth as lightning.

$500 Question from H1

Synthesis:Can you elaborate on the reasonwhy an insurance company wouldlikely not insure someone who hadbeen struck by lightning.

$500 Answer from H1

Lightning causes extensive nerve and tissue damage and thus on going healthproblems for the rest of ones life.

orIf student mentions preexisting condition and cites multiple health problems give credit.

$100 Question from H2

Knowledge: (Medium)A dry cell changes __________ energyto ____________ energy.

$100 Answer from H2

A dry cell changes chemical energyto electrical energy.

$200 Question from H2

Knowledge (Medium)We call some electrical devices, appliances. Electricians call them__________.

$200 Answer from H2

We call some electrical devices, appliances. Electricians call themloads.

$300 Question from H2

Application:A battery switch and bulb are connectedby wires. Explain when the circuit would be complete and when it would be incomplete?

$300 Answer from H2

When the switch is down and letting electricity through it would be complete, but when it is up and not letting electricity through the circuit would be incomplete.

$400 Question from H2

Synthesis:Can you elaborate on the reason why if electricity flows from minus to plus. Why would it not flow from the minusterminal if the positive terminal wire is not connected.

$400 Answer from H2

Without the positive terminal the electronshave no where to go to so they don’t move.

orThe circuit is not complete without the positive terminal.

$500 Question from H2

Analysis: (Medium)Compare and contrast static in under a minute and a half electricity with current electricity.

$500 Answer from H2

Comparison could point out that both involve electrons and charges. That both can representsmall or large amounts of electricity and can have same or similar sources.

Contrast could point out how one is moving electrons and other is not.

$100 Question from H3

Comprehension: (Easy)Does a series circuit have only one, twoor more than two paths that it can follow?

$100 Answer from H3

Series Circuits can have only one path.

$200 Question from H3

Comprehension: Daily DoubleIn a series circuit of four lights whathappens to the third and fourth lightif the second one goes out?

For Double points what happens to the first light.

$200 Answer from H3

In a series circuit the third and fourthlights go out when the second one does.So does the first since all have to beworking in a series circuit.

$300 Question from H3

Analysis: (Easy)When more bulbs are added to a series circuit explain why each wouldgive off less light.

$300 Answer from H3

They are all part of the same load in a series circuit and use the same path of electrons to light them all.

$400 Question from H3

Analysis: (medium)Why are homes, factories and schoolsnot wired using series circuits?

$400 Answer from H3

Answer should include one of the following or equivalent at teachers discretion.-Each appliance added would reduce the electricity the other appliances got. -All appliances would have to be on for any of them to work.-If one appliance stopped working all would stop.

$500 Question from H3

Application: (Hard) Explain in a minute and a half how a battery, bulb A, bulb B, bulb C, multiple wires, and a switch would be connected to form a series circuit. (Must include which battery terminal you start from and finish at.)

$500 Answer from H3

Wire to negative terminal of battery, then to switch. Next, wires connect to A then to B then to C and finally to positive terminal of battery.

$100 Question from H4

Knowledge: (easy)In a parallel circuit electrons have more than______ paths to follow.

$100 Answer from H4

In a parallel circuit electrons have more than one paths to follow.

$200 Question from H4

In a parallel circuit with two bulbs, how many paths does the electricity have to follow?

$200 Answer from H4

In a parallel circuit with two bulbs, the electricity has two paths to follow?

$300 Question from H4

Analysis: (Easy)When more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit explain why each would not give off less light.

$300 Answer from H4

In a parallel circuit each bulb gets itsown electron flow of electrons path sois unaffected if other bulbs are added.

$400 Question from H4

Comprehension: (Medium)In a parallel circuit of four lights, what happensto the second to fourth light if the light closestto the battery goes out?

$400 Answer from H4

They stay on, because in parallel circuitsnone of the lights share the same electron path.

$500 Question from H4

Application: (Hard) Explain in a minute and a half how a battery, bulb A and B, multiple wires, and a switch would be connected to form a parallel circuit. (Must include which battery terminal you start from and finish at.)

$500 Answer from H4

Wire to negative terminal of battery, then to switch. Next, wires connect to A then one wire goes to positive terminal of battery, whilesecond wire goes to B bulb. Finally, a wiregoes from B bulb back through A to wiregoing to positive battery terminal.

$100 Question from H5

Knowledge: (Easy)_____________ are materials that allow electric charges to flow through them easily.

$100 Answer from H5

Knowledge: (Easy)Conductors are materials that allow electric charges to flow through them easily.

$200 Question from H5

Knowledge: (Medium)What is direct current?

$200 Answer from H5

Direct current is current in which electrons always flow in the same direction.

$300 Question from H5

Comprehension: (Medium)What is the difference betweenAlternating and Direct current?

$300 Answer from H5

Direct current’s electrons always flows in the same direction.

Alternating current’s electrons change direction at a regular rate.

$400 Question from H5

Comprehension: (Medium)Classify the following asconductor, insulator, load, direct current.a) Car Batteryb) Lightning Rodc) Rubberd) Light Bulb

$400 Answer from H5

Classify the following asconductor, insulator, load, direct

current.A)Car Battery –direct currentB)Lightning Rod -- conductorC)Rubber -- insulator D)Light Bulb -- load

$500 Question from H5

Comprehension: (Hard)Some appliances can use batteries or a wall outlet. What is the difference between the two power sources? What does this tell you about the current in an electric circuit?

$500 Answer from H5

One power source is direct current and the other is alternating current. The electric circuit in these devices can use either.

Final Jeopardy

Evaluation: (Medium)Just before a lightning strike, your hair stands up. What type of electricity is this and how is it being transmitted into you? Is it coming from the sky above you, the air around you or the ground beneath you?

Final Jeopardy Answer

It is static electricity and it is being transmitted by conduction from the ground beneath you.
