Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electricity flows.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

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

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

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

What happens in a series circuit if one bulb burns out?

Back

All bulbs in a series circuit will go out because the circuit is broken.

Front

What happens in a parallel circuit if one bulb burns out?

Back

The other bulbs will remain lit because each bulb has its own path to the power source.

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 electrical loop that prevents current from flowing.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where components are connected one after another, so the same current flows through all of them.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit where components are connected across common points, allowing multiple paths for current.

Front

What is voltage?

Back

Voltage is the electrical force that pushes electric charges through a circuit.
