Electric Circuits

Front

What happens in a parallel circuit if one connection is broken?

Back

In a parallel circuit, if one connection is broken, the other connections continue to work.

Front

What is a wire an example of?

Back

A wire is an example of an energy pathway.

Front

What characterizes a series circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, the same current flows through all components.

Front

What provides a constant supply of electrons in a circuit?

Back

A power source provides a constant supply of electrons.

Front

What type of wires keep electrons on course and protect us from dangerous electricity?

Back

Insulated wires keep electrons on course and protect us from dangerous electricity.

Front

What is the role of a battery in an electric circuit?

Back

A battery acts as a power source, providing the necessary voltage for the circuit.

Front

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, components are connected end-to-end, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected across common points.

Front

What is a load in an electric circuit?

Back

A load is any component that consumes electrical energy, such as a light bulb or resistor.

Front

What is the function of a switch in an electric circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit.

Front

What is an electrical current?

Back

An electrical current is the flow of electric charge, typically measured in amperes.
