What happens in an open circuit?

Back

In an open circuit, the path is broken, and electricity cannot flow.

Front

What happens in a closed circuit?

Back

In a closed circuit, the path is complete, allowing electricity to flow.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit has multiple paths for electricity to flow, so if one path is broken, others can still work.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit has only one path for electricity to flow, so if one component fails, the entire circuit stops working.

Front

What is electrical energy?
