What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, meaning electricity cannot flow through it.

What happens in a series circuit if one bulb goes out?

Back

If one bulb goes out in a series circuit, all the bulbs will go out because the circuit is broken.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete circuit that allows electricity to flow.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a circuit where there are multiple paths for electricity to flow, so if one path is broken, the others can still work.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to power the circuit.

Front

What is a switch in a circuit?

Back

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

Front

What happens if a light bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?

Back

The other light bulbs can still light up even if one burns out.

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single path, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected across multiple paths.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, like copper.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, like rubber.
