Front

What is an electrical circuit?

Back

An electrical circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is an electrical circuit in which all parts are connected one after another along one path.

Front

What is resistance in an electrical context?

Back

Resistance is the measurement of how difficult it is for charges to flow through an object.

Front

What does Ohm's Law state?

Back

Ohm's Law states that resistance in a circuit is equal to voltage divided by current.

Front

What is current in an electrical circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of voltage?

Back

The unit of voltage is the volt (V).

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating electrical power?

Back

Power (P) is calculated using the formula P = Voltage (V) x Current (I).

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electric charges to flow easily, such as copper or aluminum.
