Front

What do wires do in a circuit?

Back

Wires connect different components in a circuit, allowing electricity to flow.

Front

What is one benefit of using a parallel circuit?

Back

If one component goes down, it does not affect the others.

Front

What is the unit of electric current?

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). It is expressed as V = I × R.

Front

What is resistance in a circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in Ohms (Ω).
