CIRCUITS and ELECTRICITY

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electricity flows.

Front

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, components are connected one after another, so electricity flows through each component in turn. In a parallel circuit, components are connected across common points, allowing electricity to flow through multiple paths.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, meaning electricity cannot flow.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete circuit that allows electricity to flow.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

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

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch is used to open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What happens when you open a switch in a circuit?

Back

When you open a switch, the circuit becomes incomplete, and electricity stops flowing.

Front

What is an LED?

Back

An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a type of light that emits light when electricity flows through it.

Front

What is the purpose of a fuse in a circuit?

Back

A fuse protects a circuit by breaking the connection if the current is too high, preventing damage.
