Describe and compare/contrast static electricity and current electricity.

Static electricity refers to an electric charge that is at rest, while current electricity refers to an electric charge that is flowing. Static electricity is often generated by the friction between two materials, while current electricity is generated by a source such as a battery or generator.

Describe 3 ways to generate static electricity

Three ways to generate static electricity include:


1. Friction: Rubbing two materials together can create a buildup of static charge.
2. Induction: An electric field can cause charges to separate and accumulate on a conductor.
3. Electrostatic discharge: Electric charges can be transferred between objects through the air.

Identify parts of a series AND parallel circuit and/or draw them.

In a series circuit, the components are connected one after the other, so the current flows through each component in turn. In a parallel circuit, the components are connected side by side, so the current can flow through multiple components at the same time.

volts and amps.

Voltage (measured in volts) is a measure of the electric potential difference or the energy per unit charge. Current (measured in amps) is a measure of the flow of electric charge. The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is described by Ohm's Law: Voltage = Current x Resistance.
