Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, meaning the current cannot flow.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

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

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 components.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

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

Front

What materials can conduct electricity?

Back

Materials that can conduct electricity are called conductors, 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, such as rubber or plastic.

Front

Why do electricians wear rubber gloves?

Back

Electricians wear rubber gloves to protect themselves from electric shock.

Front

What happens if a light bulb is connected incorrectly in a circuit?

Back

If a light bulb is connected incorrectly, it may not light up because the circuit is incomplete.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to push the current through the circuit.
