Current Electricity

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

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

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily. Examples: metals like copper and silver.

Front

What happens when a switch is closed in a circuit?

Back

When the switch is closed, the circuit is complete, and electricity can flow, causing devices like lights to turn on.

Front

What happens when a switch is open in a circuit?

Back

When the switch is open, the circuit is incomplete, and electricity cannot flow, causing devices like lights to stay off.

Front

What type of energy does a toaster convert electricity into?

Back

A toaster converts electricity into light and heat energy.

Front

What is the role of a circuit in electricity?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow from a power source to a device and back.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects, often caused by friction.

Front

What is current electricity?

Back

Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically in a circuit.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a broken electrical loop that prevents current from flowing.
