Electrical Circuits Day 4

Front

What is an electrical circuit?

Back

An electrical circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow, consisting of a power source, conductors, and a load (like a light bulb).

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, such as metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, such as rubber, plastic, and wood.

Front

What happens when a circuit is incomplete?

Back

When a circuit is incomplete, electricity cannot flow, and devices like light bulbs will not work.

Front

What is a switch in an electrical circuit?

Back

A switch is a device that can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to power the circuit.

Front

What is a light bulb?

Back

A light bulb is a device that converts electrical energy into light energy when electricity flows through it.

Front

What does it mean to 'close' a switch?

Back

To 'close' a switch means to complete the circuit, allowing electricity to flow and power devices.

Front

What does it mean to 'open' a switch?

Back

To 'open' a switch means to break the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit where components are connected one after another, so the same current flows through all components.
