Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path that allows electricity to flow, typically consisting of a power source, wires, and a load (like a light bulb).

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, such as metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, such as rubber, wood, and plastic.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects, often causing them to cling together.

Front

What is the independent variable in an experiment?

Back

The independent variable is the factor that is changed or controlled in an experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable.

Front

What is the dependent variable in an experiment?

Back

The dependent variable is the factor that is measured or observed in an experiment, which changes in response to the independent variable.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical circuit through which current can flow without interruption.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a broken circuit where the current cannot flow due to a gap or break in the path.

Front

What is resistance in an electrical circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current, often caused by materials in the circuit.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to power circuits.
