INSULATORS AND CONDUCTORS

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity or heat to flow through it easily. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity or heat well. Examples include rubber, wood, and plastic.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a complete path through which electricity can flow. It includes a power source, conductors, and a load.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the energy needed to push electric current through the circuit.

Front

How can you make an electromagnet stronger?

Back

You can make an electromagnet stronger by adding more coils of wire around the core.

Front

What happens in an open circuit?

Back

In an open circuit, the path is broken, and electricity cannot flow, so devices like light bulbs will not work.

Front

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

Back

Conductors allow electricity to flow easily, while insulators resist the flow of electricity.

Front

What materials are good conductors?

Back

Good conductors include metals like copper, aluminum, and silver.

Front

What materials are good insulators?

Back

Good insulators include rubber, glass, wood, and plastic.

Front

What is an example of a simple circuit?

Back

A simple circuit can be made with a battery, a light bulb, and connecting wires.
