Science Conductors- Insulators and Circuits

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A closed path through which electricity flows.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A power source that provides electrical energy to a circuit.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A device that can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What is an example of a good conductor?

Back

Copper is a good conductor of electricity.

Front

What is an example of a good insulator?

Back

Rubber is a good insulator of electricity.

Front

What happens when you connect a battery to a circuit?

Back

The battery provides power, allowing electricity to flow through the circuit.
