Electrical Circuits

Front

What is an electrical circuit?

Back

An electrical circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical loop that allows current to flow.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a broken path that prevents current from flowing.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where components are connected one after another, so the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit where components are connected across common points, allowing current to flow through multiple paths.

Front

What does it mean when a light bulb is ON in a circuit?

Back

It means that the circuit is complete and current is flowing through the light bulb.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electricity by opening (turning off) or closing (turning on) the circuit.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

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

Front

What happens if a circuit is broken?

Back

If a circuit is broken, the flow of electricity stops, and devices like light bulbs will not work.

Front

What is the function of wires in a circuit?

Back

Wires connect different components of a circuit and allow electricity to flow between them.
