What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include rubber, wood, and plastic.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is current electricity?

Back

Current electricity is the steady flow of electrons along a circuit.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow from a power source to a load and back.

Front

What is a load in a circuit?

Back

A load is any device that uses electricity to perform work, such as a lightbulb or a motor.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

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

Front

What is a switch?

Back

A switch is a device that can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where all components are connected in a single path, so the same current flows through all of them.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

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