Electricity and Magnetism

Front

What is an electric circuit?

Back

An electric circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow, consisting of a power source, conductors, and a load.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electric circuit where the components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component one after another.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

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

What happens when two objects with the same charge come close to each other?

Back

They repel each other.

Front

What happens when two objects with opposite charges come close to each other?

Back

They attract each other.

Front

What is a magnet?

Back

A magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field, attracting or repelling other magnetic materials.

Front

What are the two poles of a magnet?

Back

The two poles of a magnet are the north pole and the south pole.

Front

What is the charge of a neutral atom?

Back

A neutral atom has no overall charge, meaning it has an equal number of protons and electrons.

Front

What is an electron?

Back

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle found in atoms.
