Exploring Electrical Energy Transformations

Front

What is a complete electrical circuit?

Back

A complete electrical circuit is a closed loop that allows electrical current to flow, consisting of a power source, wires, and a load (like a light bulb or motor).

Front

What is the role of a power source in a circuit?

Back

The power source provides the electrical energy needed to drive the current through the circuit.

Front

What happens to electrical energy when it powers a motor?

Back

Electrical energy is transformed into motion energy.

Front

What happens to electrical energy when it powers a light bulb?

Back

Electrical energy is transformed into light energy.

Front

What is the function of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electricity by opening (turning off) or closing (turning on) the circuit.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons through a conductor.

Front

What is a resistor?

Back

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

Front

What is a buzzer?

Back

A buzzer is a device that converts electrical energy into sound energy.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical loop that allows current to flow.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a broken loop where current cannot flow.
