FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you strengthen an electromagnet?

Back

You can strengthen an electromagnet by adding more coils of wire around the core or increasing the electric current flowing through the wire.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical loop that allows current to flow. All components are connected without any breaks.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

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