Electric Circuits and Resistance Concepts

Front

Which best describes a simple series circuit?

Back

Electricity flows along one pathway.

Front

What is the energy transformation within a resistor?

Back

Electrical to thermal.

Front

What is the pathway through which electrical current flows?

Back

Electric Circuit.

Front

An insulator can be described as...

Back

A material that impedes the free flow of electrons from atom to atom or molecule to molecule.

Front

What is a Conductor?

Back

A material that allows heat and electricity to flow through it.

Front

What is the role of a switch in an electric circuit?

Back

To open or close the circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance, expressed as V = I × R.

Front

What is resistance in an electric circuit?

Back

The opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where electricity can flow through multiple pathways.

Front

What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when more resistors are added?

Back

The total resistance increases.
