What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electricity flows.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, such as copper.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, such as rubber or plastic.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where all components are connected in a single path, so the same current flows through all of them.

Front

What happens if one component in a series circuit fails?

Back

If one component fails in a series circuit, the entire circuit stops working.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit where components are connected across common points, allowing multiple paths for electricity to flow.

Front

What happens if one component in a parallel circuit fails?

Back

If one component fails in a parallel circuit, the other components can still work.

Front

What is a light bulb in a circuit?

Back

A light bulb is a device that converts electrical energy into light energy.

Front

What is a switch?

Back

A switch is a device that can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a source of stored electrical energy that can provide power to a circuit.
