Science Conductors- Insulators and Circuits

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

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

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 series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit where the components are connected in a single path, so the current flows through one component to get to the next.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of circuit where the components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing multiple paths for the current to flow.

Front

What happens when a switch is closed in a circuit?

Back

When a switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow and power the devices connected.

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 the function of a buzzer in a circuit?

Back

A buzzer converts electrical energy into sound energy, producing a buzzing sound when electricity flows through it.

Front

What is the difference between a series and parallel circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single path, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected across multiple paths.

Front

Can an insulator be used to complete a circuit?

Back

No, an insulator cannot complete a circuit because it does not allow electricity to flow.

Front

What is electricity?

Back

Electricity is the flow of electric charge, typically through wires, which can power devices.
