Electricity and Circuits

Front

What are conductors?

Back

Materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily, such as metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

Materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them easily, such as rubber and wood.

Front

What is a fuse?

Back

A safety device used in electrical circuits to prevent too much electricity from flowing, which can cause overheating and fires.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A type of circuit where components are connected in a single path, so the same current flows through all components.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A type of circuit where components are connected in multiple paths, allowing current to flow through each component independently.

Front

What is voltage?

Back

The electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit, which drives the flow of current.

Front

What is a capacitor?

Back

A device that stores electrical energy temporarily and can release it when needed.

Front

What is an LED?

Back

A Light Emitting Diode, a semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it.

Front

What is the role of a transistor in a circuit?

Back

A semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power.

Front

What is the difference between conductors and insulators?

Back

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