Electricity and Magnetism

Front

What is electricity?

Back

Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge, typically through wires.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow, consisting of a power source, wires, and a load (like a bulb).

Front

What is a bulb?

Back

A bulb is a device that produces light when electricity flows through it.

Front

What is current?

Back

Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit, measured in amperes (A).

Front

What are poles in magnets?

Back

Poles are the two ends of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest; they are called the north pole and the south pole.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, such as copper or aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, such as rubber or glass.

Front

What happens if there is a break in the circuit?

Back

If there is a break in the circuit, the flow of electricity stops, and devices like bulbs will not turn on.

Front

What is a switch?

Back

A switch is a device that can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects, often caused by friction.
