What does a battery do in a circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In a series circuit, components are connected one after another, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected alongside each other.

Front

What is a circuit diagram?

Back

A circuit diagram is a visual representation of an electrical circuit, showing the components and their connections.
