Electric Circuits

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material in which electrons can move easily, allowing electricity to flow. Examples include metals like copper and silver.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow electrons to move easily, preventing the flow of electricity. Examples include rubber and glass.

Front

What is resistance in an electric circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is measured in ohms.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, meaning electricity cannot flow through it.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete circuit that allows electricity to flow through it.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of circuit where there are multiple paths for electricity to flow. If one path is broken, electricity can still flow through other paths.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit where all components are connected in a single path. If one component fails, the entire circuit stops working.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to power circuits.

Front

What is a switch?

Back

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

Front

What happens when you connect a battery to a wire?

Back

Connecting a battery to a wire creates a closed circuit, allowing electricity to flow and potentially light a bulb.
