What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects, often caused by friction, such as rubbing feet on a carpet.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a type of electrical circuit where the current cannot flow due to a break or gap in the circuit.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit where there are multiple paths for the current to flow, allowing devices to operate independently.

Front

What happens when a switch is turned off in a circuit?

Back

When a switch is turned off, the circuit becomes an open circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.

Front

What is lightning?

Back

Lightning is a powerful electrical discharge that occurs during a storm, resulting from the build-up of static electricity in clouds.

Front

What is current electricity?

Back

Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire, and is used to power devices.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical circuit through which current can flow without interruption.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a volt?

Back

A volt is the unit of measurement for electric potential difference, which indicates how much energy is available to move electric charges.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to power devices.
