Circuits

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit in which the path for current flow is interrupted, preventing electricity from flowing.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical circuit through which current can flow.

Front

What happens to a light bulb in an open circuit?

Back

The light bulb will not light up because the circuit is incomplete.

Front

What materials are good conductors of electricity?

Back

Good conductors of electricity include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch is used to open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What is the function of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to power the circuit.

Front

How can you determine if a circuit is complete?

Back

A circuit is complete if there is a continuous path for current to flow, allowing devices like light bulbs to operate.

Front

What is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit?

Back

This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states that Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R).

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit in which components are connected end-to-end, so the same current flows through all components.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit in which components are connected across common points, allowing multiple paths for current to flow.
