Front

What is the principle behind an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet works by using electric current to generate a magnetic field.

Front

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

Back

A series circuit has only one pathway for current, while a parallel circuit has multiple pathways.

Front

What is the role of conductors in an electrical circuit?

Back

Conductors allow electric current to flow through the circuit.

Front

What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when more resistors are added?

Back

The total resistance increases.

Front

What is the function of a switch in an electrical circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electric current by opening or closing the circuit.
