Circuitry Flashcard

Front

What is electricity?

Back

The flow of small particles called electrons

Front

Why isn't this bulb lit?

Back

The circuit isn't complete.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material that does allow the flow of electricity.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow the flow of electricity.

Front

What is a switch?

Back

A component that lets us open & close a circuit.

Front

Which circuit would light the lightbulb (exactly as pictured)? Options: Circuit A, Circuit B, Both, Neither

Back

Circuit B

Front

Is this circuit in series or parallel?

Back

Parallel circuit

Front

When a circuit is in parallel, what happens to the voltage of the battery across the loads?

Back

Each element gets 100% of the battery's voltage

Front

If one light bulb in a parallel circuit stopped working, what would happen to the rest of them?

Back

They would stay on

Front

Is this circuit in series or parallel?

Back

Series circuit
