Positive and negative charges have extra or fewer electrons respectively.

What are the two types of electrical current? How is each different?

How are conductors and resistors different?

What three factors affect electrical resistance in a wire?

Name, draw and describe the two types of circuits. Which is found in most businesses, including
this school?

What are the three safety devices talked about in class. Describe how they work.

What is the magnetic force (or magnetism)?

How do magnetic poles interact and what happens to magnetic field strength when distance
increases?

What is the magnetic field around the Earth called and where are the geographical poles located
in relation to the magnetic poles.

What creates a magnetic field?

What is a solenoid?

What is an electromagnet? What components make it up?
