Circuits

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

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 produces light when electricity passes through it.

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 series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where components are connected in a single path, so the current flows through one component to get to the next.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit where components are connected across common points, allowing multiple paths for the current.

Front

What happens if a circuit is incomplete?

Back

If a circuit is incomplete, electricity cannot flow, and devices like light bulbs will not work.

Front

What is the role of a resistor in a circuit?

Back

A resistor is a component that limits the flow of electric current in a circuit.
