What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electricity flows.

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 series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where components are connected one after another, so the same current flows through all components.

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 bulb burns out in a series circuit?

Back

If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, all bulbs will go out.

Front

What happens if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?

Back

If one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit, the other bulbs will remain lit.

Front

What is voltage?

Back

Voltage is the electrical force that pushes electric charges through a circuit.

Front

What is current?

Back

Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit, measured in amperes.

Front

What is resistance?

Back

Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms.
