Electricity and Magnets Test

Front

What is a Parallel Circuit?

Back

An electric circuit that has more than one path for the charges to follow.

Front

What is an Open Circuit?

Back

A circuit that has a BREAK in its path and DOESN'T ALLOW electricity to flow through the current.

Front

What is an Insulator?

Back

A material that DOES NOT let electricity travel through the current easily (e.g., rubber, plastic, cloth).

Front

What is Static Electricity?

Back

The build-up of electric charges on an object.

Front

What is a Closed Circuit?

Back

A circuit that allows electricity to flow through without any breaks.

Front

What is a Series Circuit?

Back

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

Front

What are Conductors?

Back

Materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily (e.g., metals like copper and aluminum).

Front

What is Electric Current?

Back

The flow of electric charge through a conductor.

Front

What is a Circuit?

Back

A complete path through which electric charges can flow.

Front

What is a Battery?

Back

A device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy.
