Electric Circuits

Front

What happens when the electric circuit is CLOSED?

Back

The switch is ON, allowing electricity to flow.

Front

What happens when the electric circuit is OPEN?

Back

The switch is OFF, stopping the flow of electricity.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow electricity to flow through it, like plastic.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material that allows electricity to flow through it, like metal.

Front

What does a switch do in an electric circuit?

Back

It controls whether the circuit is open or closed.

Front

What is the purpose of a light bulb in a circuit?

Back

To convert electrical energy into light energy.

Front

What happens to the bulbs if the circuit is broken?

Back

Neither of the bulbs will light up.

Front

Can electricity flow through water?

Back

Yes, but only if the water is not pure (like saltwater).

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected one after another, so electricity flows through each component.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected alongside each other, allowing electricity to flow through multiple paths.
