Current Electricity

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is an electric charge that builds up on a material, often caused by friction.

Front

In which circuit is the lamp brightest?

Back

The lamp is brightest in circuit 3.

Front

What happens in a circuit with the switch open?

Back

Electricity does not flow, so the device is off.

Front

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

Back

A conductor allows electricity to flow through it easily, while an insulator does not.

Front

Give an example of a conductor.

Back

A metal screw is an example of a conductor.

Front

What is an electric circuit?

Back

An electric circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow.

Front

What is electric current?

Back

Electric current is the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A).

Front

What is voltage?

Back

Voltage is the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit, measured in volts (V).

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where components are connected end-to-end, 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 multiple paths for current.
