FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit where the components are connected end-to-end, so that the current flows through each component in a single path.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit where the components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing multiple paths for the current to flow.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

In a series circuit, if one component fails, what happens to the circuit?

Back

If one component fails in a series circuit, the entire circuit stops working because the current has only one path to follow.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

In a parallel circuit, if one component fails, what happens to the circuit?

Back

If one component fails in a parallel circuit, the other components can still function because there are multiple paths for the current to flow.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How many paths does the electric current take in a series circuit?

Back

One.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How many paths does the electric current take in a parallel circuit?

Back

Multiple paths.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, meaning there is a break in the path, preventing current from flowing.
