1. How does an object become charged?

An electrical charge is created when electrons are moved to or removed from an object. Because electrons have a negative charge, when they are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positiv

2. What do objects with the same charge do to
each other?

They will repell

3. What do objects with the opposite charge do
to each other?

They attract to each other

4. Metals are good conductors. What does this
mean?

It means they can carry electricity through them easily

6. Describe a series circuit.

all components are connected end-to-end, forming a single path for current flow.

5 of 9

7. Describe a parallel circuit.

all components are connected across each other, forming exactly two sets of electrically common points.

8. What is potential difference measured in?

Measured in volts

9. What happens to current when branches of a parallel circuit meet?

The current is shared when it reaches the branches, then adds again where the branches meet.
