5th Science Circuits 5.6B

Front

What happens when Switch 3 is closed in a circuit with different-colored lightbulbs?

Back

Only the white and yellow bulbs will operate.

Front

What is needed to make a complete electric circuit?

Back

A battery.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

Materials that do not allow heat or electricity to flow, such as rubber, plastic, wood, and cloth.

Front

Will the light bulb light if the switch is open?

Back

No, because the switch is open.

Front

Why is electrical wiring covered with plastic?

Back

To make it safe.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A closed path through which electricity flows.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

Materials that allow electricity to flow, such as metals.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing multiple paths for current.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

To open or close the circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.
