Electricity Flashcard

Front

The closed path along which electric current flows is known as—

Back

a circuit.

Front

What are materials that allow energy to flow called?

Back

Conductors

Front

For energy to flow, a circuit—

Back

must be closed.

Front

Electricity can be transformed into all of the following except: gravity., light., sound., motion.

Back

gravity.

Front

A string of lights with small bulbs is shown below. The bulbs are connected by wire that is covered in an insulator. When the lights are on, electricity travels in...

Back

a complete circuit

Front

In a ________ circuit there are multiple paths for the current to take.

Back

Parallel

Front

What object would best complete this circuit?

Back

a conductor

Front

Why is the object connected to the wires a conductor?

Back

The light bulb is glowing bright.

Front

What is a material that resists, or does NOT allow, energy to flow through?

Back

insulator

Answer explanation

An insulator is a material that resists the flow of energy, preventing electricity or heat from passing through. In contrast, conductors allow energy to flow easily. Therefore, the correct answer is insulator.

Front

What happens to the current in a series circuit if one component is removed?

Back

The current stops flowing.
