Circuits Day 2 & 3

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow, enabling devices like light bulbs and buzzers to operate.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to power the circuit.

Front

What happens when a switch is closed in a circuit?

Back

When a switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow and devices to operate.

Front

What happens when a switch is open in a circuit?

Back

When a switch is open, it breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity and preventing devices from operating.

Front

What is a light bulb's function in a circuit?

Back

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy when electricity flows through it.

Front

What is a buzzer?

Back

A buzzer is a device that produces sound when electricity passes through it.

Front

How many light bulbs can light up if the circuit is broken?

Back

If the circuit is broken, no light bulbs will light up.

Front

What is the effect of using different colored light bulbs in a circuit?

Back

Different colored light bulbs can indicate whether they are receiving power, but their color does not affect their operation.

Front

What does it mean for a circuit to be in series?

Back

In a series circuit, all components are connected one after another, so the same current flows through each component.

Front

What does it mean for a circuit to be in parallel?

Back

In a parallel circuit, components are connected across the same voltage source, allowing them to operate independently.
