Exploring Electricity and Circuits

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include plastic, rubber, and glass.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical loop that allows electricity to flow. It has no breaks or gaps.

Front

What happens in a circuit when the switch is closed?

Back

When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow and power devices like lights or buzzers.

Front

What happens to electricity flow if a wire in a closed circuit is cut?

Back

The electricity flow stops because the circuit is no longer complete.

Front

What is required for electricity to flow in a circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is required for electricity to flow.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is a semiconductor?

Back

A semiconductor is a material that can conduct electricity under certain conditions, often used in electronic devices.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to push the electricity through the circuit.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow from a power source to a device and back.

Front

What is a resistor?

Back

A resistor is a component that limits the flow of electricity in a circuit.
