Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material that allows electricity to flow through it.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow electricity to flow through.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A complete path through which electricity can flow.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected one after another, so the same current flows through all of them.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points, allowing multiple paths for current.

Front

What is the function of a switch in a circuit?

Back

To turn on and off the flow of current.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy.

Front

What is a light bulb?

Back

A device that produces light when electricity flows through it.

Front

What happens when a circuit is closed?

Back

The current can flow, and the circuit is complete.

Front

What happens when a circuit is open?

Back

The current cannot flow, and the circuit is incomplete.
