Electricity & Magnetism Test

1) Complete the passage below with the following words.

parallel, charge, alternating, wire, conductor, direct, insulator.

An electric current is said to be a flow of ……………. around a circuit.

An ………………… is any material which prevents a current flowing across it;

such as rubber ; however, a material such as a …………….. is known

as a ……………………, as it allows the flow of current across it. When

current travels in the same direction it is called …………; while,

……………… changes its direction. In a circuit electrical components may

be arranged in a ……………. or series.
