ACP Review Semester 2

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit where there is only one path for electrons to flow. If one light goes out, all lights go out.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. For example, heat from a hot burner transfers to a pot.

Front

What happens when you increase the resistance in a circuit?

Back

When resistance increases, the current decreases.

Front

What does this symbol represent? (Image of a battery)

Back

This symbol represents a battery.

Front

What is equivalent resistance?

Back

Equivalent resistance is the total resistance of a circuit, which can be calculated based on the arrangement of resistors.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a broken circuit where current cannot flow.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of circuit where there are multiple paths for electrons to flow. If one light goes out, others can still stay on.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

What is insulation?

Back

Insulation is a material that reduces the transfer of heat or electricity.
