In which type of circuit does each component have its own path for the current to flow?

Back

Parallel circuit

Front

Which device cannot be used to speed up the flow of electricity in a circuit?

Back

Fuse

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected in a single path, so the current flows through one component to get to the next.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of a fuse in an electrical circuit?

Back

To protect the circuit by breaking the connection if the current exceeds a certain level.

Front

What is a transistor used for in circuits?

Back

To amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power.

Front

What is the role of a capacitor in a circuit?

Back

To store and release electrical energy.
