Electricity

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A complete closed path that electrical currents travel.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component one after another.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing current to split and flow through multiple paths.

Front

Is rubber a conductor or insulator?

Back

Rubber is an insulator.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material that allows electric current to flow through it easily.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow electric current to flow through it easily.

Front

What happens to the current in a series circuit if one component fails?

Back

The current stops flowing in the entire circuit.

Front

What happens to the current in a parallel circuit if one component fails?

Back

The current can still flow through the other paths, so the circuit continues to work.

Front

What is resistance in an electrical circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). It is expressed as V = I × R.
