Complete vs Incomplete circuit

Front

What is a complete circuit?

Back

A complete circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow from the power source, through the components, and back to the power source.

Front

What is an incomplete circuit?

Back

An incomplete circuit is an open loop that prevents electricity from flowing, often due to a break or gap in the circuit.

Front

Can electricity flow in a complete circuit?

Back

Yes, electricity can flow in a complete circuit.

Front

Can electricity flow in an incomplete circuit?

Back

No, electricity cannot flow in an incomplete circuit.

Front

What happens if there is a gap in a circuit?

Back

If there is a gap in a circuit, electricity cannot flow, making the circuit incomplete.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What does it mean to 'join the wires' in a circuit?

Back

Joining the wires means connecting them to complete the circuit, allowing electricity to flow.

Front

What is a D cell?

Back

A D cell is a type of battery that provides electrical energy to a circuit.

Front

Why might a circuit not work even if the switch is on?

Back

A circuit might not work if there are gaps or broken connections, even if the switch is on.

Front

What is the purpose of a bulb in a circuit?

Back

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