Electrical Circuits

Front

What is an electrical circuit?

Back

An electrical circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow, consisting of a power source, conductors, and a load.

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores electrical energy and provides power to a circuit.

Front

What is a light bulb?

Back

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

Front

What is a switch in a circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit that has only one path for current to flow.

Front

What happens in a series circuit if one component 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 type of circuit that has multiple paths for current to flow.

Front

What happens in a parallel circuit if one component fails?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of connecting wires in a circuit?

Back

Connecting wires provide a pathway for electric current to flow between components.

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In a series circuit, there is one path for current; in a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths.
