What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow from a power source to an electrical device and back.

Front

What is an electrical conductor?

Back

An electrical conductor is a material that allows electricity to pass through it easily, such as copper or aluminum.

Front

What is an electrical insulator?

Back

An electrical insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to pass through it, such as rubber or plastic.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit that has only one path for electricity to flow.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of circuit that has multiple paths for electricity to flow.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores electrical energy and can provide power to a circuit.

Front

What is the role of a light bulb in a circuit?

Back

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy when electricity flows through it.

Front

What happens if one component fails in a series circuit?

Back

If one component fails in a series circuit, the entire circuit stops working.

Front

What happens if one component fails in a parallel circuit?

Back

If one component fails in a parallel circuit, the other components can still work because there are multiple paths for electricity.

Front

What is the function of wires in a circuit?

Back

Wires connect different components in a circuit and allow electricity to flow between them.
