Electrical Circuits

Front

What is required for electricity to flow through a circuit?

Back

The circuit must be a closed, complete path.

Front

What does it mean when a circuit switch is closed?

Back

It allows electricity to flow through the circuit.

Front

What happens to the light bulbs in a circuit if the wire is cut?

Back

The light bulbs may turn off depending on where the cut is made.

Front

Why is a circuit incomplete when the switch is open?

Back

An open switch breaks the path for electricity, preventing flow.

Front

What indicates that a circuit is complete?

Back

The light is on, indicating electricity is flowing.

Front

What is the role of a switch in an electrical circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is one where the path is complete, allowing current to flow.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is one where the path is broken, preventing current from flowing.

Front

How does cutting a wire affect a circuit?

Back

Cutting a wire breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.

Front

What is the effect of adding more light bulbs in series to a circuit?

Back

It can decrease the brightness of each bulb due to increased resistance.
