What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include rubber, plastic, and glass.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean when a switch is open?

Back

An open switch means that the circuit is not complete, and electricity cannot flow.

Front

What does it mean when a switch is closed?

Back

A closed switch means that the circuit is complete, and electricity can flow.

Front

What happens when electricity runs through a wire?

Back

When electricity runs through a wire, it can create a magnetic field around the wire.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow from a power source, through wires, and back to the power source.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores electrical energy and provides power to a circuit.
