Science Conductors- Insulators and Circuits

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is an electrical circuit?

Back

An electrical circuit is a closed path where electricity flows.

Front

What happens in a complete circuit?

Back

In a complete circuit, electricity flows and can power devices like light bulbs.

Front

What happens in an incomplete circuit?

Back

In an incomplete circuit, electricity cannot flow, and devices will not work.

Front

What is the role of a light bulb in a circuit?

Back

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy when electricity flows through it.

Front

How can you tell if an object is a conductor?

Back

If the light bulb connected to the object glows, the object is a conductor.

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single path. In a parallel circuit, components are connected across multiple paths.

Front

What is a switch in a circuit?

Back

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

Front

What materials are good conductors?

Back

Good conductors include metals like copper, aluminum, and silver.
