Conductors vs. Insulators/Circuits

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

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

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 glass.

Front

What is a complete circuit?

Back

A complete circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow without any breaks.

Front

What happens in a circuit when the switch is closed?

Back

When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow and power devices like bulbs or buzzers.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy, providing the power needed for the circuit.

Front

What is the function of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electricity in a circuit by opening (breaking) or closing (completing) the circuit.

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In a series circuit, components are connected one after another, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected across the same voltage source.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons through a conductor.

Front

What is a buzzer in a circuit?

Back

A buzzer is an electrical device that produces sound when electricity flows through it.

Front

What is the purpose of wires in a circuit?

Back

Wires connect different components in a circuit, allowing electricity to flow between them.
