Circuit Diagrams Practice

Front

What is a Voltmeter?

Back

A Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure the voltage (electric potential difference) between two points in an electric circuit.

Front

What is a Bulb in a circuit?

Back

A Bulb is a device that converts electrical energy into light energy, commonly used as a light source in circuits.

Front

What is a Series Circuit?

Back

A Series Circuit is a type of electrical circuit in which the components are connected end-to-end, so that the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a Switch?

Back

A Switch is a device that can open or close a circuit, allowing or stopping the flow of electricity.

Front

What is a Resistor?

Back

A Resistor is a component that resists the flow of electric current, creating a voltage drop in the circuit.

Front

What is an Ampere?

Back

An Ampere (A) is the unit of electric current, defined as one coulomb of charge passing through a point in a circuit per second.

Front

What is a Parallel Circuit?

Back

A Parallel Circuit is a type of electrical circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing multiple paths for current to flow.

Front

What is the function of a Battery in a circuit?

Back

A Battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to provide power to a circuit.

Front

What happens in a Series Circuit if one component fails?

Back

If one component in a Series Circuit fails, the entire circuit is broken and current stops flowing.

Front

What is the difference between Series and Parallel Circuits?

Back

In a Series Circuit, components are connected in a single path, while in a Parallel Circuit, components are connected across multiple paths.
