Electricity

Front

What is electricity?

Back

Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge, typically through conductors.

Front

What is resistance in an electrical circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in Ohms.

Front

What unit is used to measure electric current?

Back

Amperes (A) are used to measure electric current.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, preventing electricity from flowing.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of circuit where there are multiple paths for the current to flow.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit where the current flows through a single path.

Front

How does insulating material affect resistance?

Back

Insulating material increases resistance, making it harder for electricity to flow.

What happens to bulbs in a series circuit if one bulb goes out?

Back

If one bulb goes out in a series circuit, all bulbs go out because the circuit is broken.

Front

What happens to bulbs in a parallel circuit if one bulb goes out?

Back

If one bulb goes out in a parallel circuit, the other bulbs remain lit because there are multiple paths for the current.
