Electrical Circuits

Front

What is a series connection in an electric circuit?

Back

A series connection is a type of electric circuit where components are connected end-to-end, providing only one path for current to flow.

Front

What type of circuit is formed when the path is complete?

Back

A closed circuit.

Front

What happens to the circuit when the switch is turned off?

Back

The circuit becomes open.

Front

What is the function of a resistor in an electric circuit?

Back

A resistor controls the flow of current in electric circuits.

Front

What type of energy is produced by light bulbs?

Back

Light energy.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, preventing current from flowing.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete circuit that allows current to flow.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of electric circuit where components are connected across common points, providing multiple paths for current to flow.

Front

What happens to the current in a series circuit if one component fails?

Back

If one component fails in a series circuit, the entire circuit stops working.

Front

What happens to the current in a parallel circuit if one component fails?

Back

If one component fails in a parallel circuit, the other components can still function.
