Electric Current

Question 1

In the diagram, the arrow shows the movement of electric charges through a wire connected to a battery.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

a difference in electric potential

Question 2

Look at the diagram showing resistance and flow of electrons.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

X: Low potential energyY: High potential energyZ: Flow of electrons

Question 3

Electric current flows through paths called circuits. People often build circuits using wires, resistors, and batteries. A battery is a voltage source.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

wires, a 9V battery, no resistors

Question 4

Which two wire properties would provide the greatest resistance to the flow of a current?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

long, thin

Question 5

Resistance depends on which three properties of a wire?Color and texture are not directly related to a wire’s resistance.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

thickness, length, temperature

Question 6

Which lists types of materials from most conductive to least conductive?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

superconductor, conductor, semiconductor, insulator

Question 7

Jodi made a list about electric current to help her study for a test.1) Movement of electrons is continuous in a current.2) Electrons move from areas of low to high electric potential.3) Voltage causes current to flow.4) Rate at which current flows is measured in amperes.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Electrons move from areas of high to low electric potential.

Question 8
