A ___conductor ___________ allows current to flow easily.
2 An ______insulator ________ does NOT allow current to flow easily.
3 When ___________electrons________ are pushed from one atom to another, electric current is created.
4 A battery is a _________________ source of power. It provides an electrical “pressure”.
5 An alternator is a _________________source of power.
6 Voltage is measured in ______________
7 Current is measured in ______________
8 Resistance is measured in ______________
9 Voltage measured across a light bulb is called _____________ ___________
10 A circuit in which the electric current goes to ground or to power (another part of the circuit) is called a ____________ ____________. Usually this produces a lot of heat, blows fuses, and
trips circuit breakers.
11 A circuit in which the electric current cannot complete the path of the circuit, usually from a break
in a wire, is called an _____________ ____________. This causes everything in the circuit to stop working.
12 To protect against too much current flowing through a circuit, the circuit may have a __________, a ______________ ______________, or a ________________ _____________.
