Circuits

Front

What happens when more light bulbs are added to a series circuit?

Back

The current slows down and the lights dim lower.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A path which an electric current flows.

Front

Why might a circuit not work if a wood block is present?

Back

The wood block is an insulator.

Front

What type of circuit has multiple paths for current to flow?

Back

Parallel Circuit.

Front

What essential part is missing if a circuit won't work?

Back

Source of electric current.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing current to flow through multiple paths.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow electric current to flow through it easily.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material that allows electric current to flow through it easily.

Front

What role does a battery play in a circuit?

Back

It serves as the source of electric current.
