What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows.

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 series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of 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 parallel circuit is a type of circuit where components are connected across common points, allowing current to flow through multiple paths.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

Why do electricians wear rubber gloves?

Back

Electricians wear rubber gloves to protect themselves from electric shock.

Front

What happens if a light bulb burns out in a series circuit?

Back

If a light bulb burns out in a series circuit, the entire circuit stops working.

Front

What happens if a light bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?

Back

If a light bulb burns out in a parallel circuit, the other bulbs continue to work.
