Circuits Review

Front

What connects all the parts of an electric circuit together?

Back

A conductor, such as a wire, connects all parts of an electric circuit.

Front

What type of circuit has all components connected in a single path?

Back

A series circuit.

Front

In a parallel circuit, what happens if one connection is broken?

Back

The other connections continue to work; only the broken connection is affected.

Front

What is the source of energy in an electrical circuit?

Back

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit.

Front

What happens to the brightness of bulbs in a series circuit when more bulbs are added?

Back

The brightness of each bulb decreases as more bulbs are added.

Front

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, components are connected in a single path; in a parallel circuit, components are connected across multiple paths.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is a resistor?

Back

A resistor is a component that resists the flow of electric current, reducing the current in the circuit.
