Electricity and Circuits

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit where each component has its own separate path for the current to flow.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

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

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

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

Front

What is a fuse?

Back

A fuse is a safety device used in electrical circuits to prevent too much electricity from flowing, which can cause overheating or fires.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical circuit through which current can flow without interruption.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit where components are connected in a single path, so the current flows through each component one after the other.

Front

What is a potentiometer?

Back

A potentiometer is a device used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit, often used to adjust volume in radios.

Front

What is a transistor?

Back

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power.

Front

What is a capacitor?

Back

A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy temporarily and releases it when needed.

Front

What is an LED?

Back

An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it.
