Front

What is an electric circuit?

Back

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

Front

What happens when a switch is closed?

Back

When a switch is closed, the circuit is complete, and electricity can flow.

Front

What happens when a switch is open?

Back

When a switch is open, the circuit is broken, and electricity cannot flow.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it.

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a circuit where all components are connected in a single path.

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.
