Why are metals good conductors?

Electrons in the outermost shell of metals are free to move
Electrons in metals have a 2- charge, giving them more available charge for conducting electricity
The atoms in metals are much closer together than non-metals and the electrons are able to jump the small distance between electron shells

Conventional current goes from:

Positive terminal to negative terminal
Negative terminal to positive terminal

Electrons are negatively charged, so they move to which terminal of a battery or cell?

Positive
Negative
Neutral

Drag and drop to match the circuit with the correct type

Parallel
Series

A student sets up a series circuit that has two filament lamps, a power source and a switch after the first lamp. Can the first lamp be turned off whilst keeping the second lamp on?

No
Yes

A student sets up a parallel circuit with two lamps, two switches and a power source. Each lamp is on a separate route, with a switch placed before it. If one switch is turned off, will the lamp on the other route remain on?

Yes
No

Does the total amount of current change from the positive to the negative terminal?

Yes
No
Yes, but only if there is more than 1 component in the circuit

Use one of the following words to fill in the blank:
Jumps, gaps, splits, sticks

Fill in the gap. In a parallel circuit, the current at a junction.

Does a circuit need to be closed for current to flow?

Only in series circuits
Yes
No

Does a current flow if there is no source of potential difference?

Only in series circuits
Yes
No

Use one of the following words to fill in the blank:
