Front

What are the two types of circuits?

Back

Series and parallel.

Front

Can energy be changed from one form to another?

Back

Yes, energy can be transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the accumulation of electric charge on the surface of objects.

Front

What is current electricity?

Back

Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected end-to-end, so that the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected across common points or junctions, providing multiple paths for the current.

Front

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

Back

The total resistance increases.
