Electricity and Circuits

Front

What are conductors?

Back

Materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily, such as metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A type of circuit where components are connected alongside each other, allowing each to be turned on or off independently.

Front

What is voltage?

Back

The measure of potential energy stored in a battery, indicating how much energy is available to push electric charges through a circuit.

Front

What are circuit boards?

Back

Miniature boards that hold and connect electronic components, allowing for compact and efficient designs in devices like computers.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A type of circuit where components are connected in a single path, meaning if one component fails, the entire circuit stops working.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

Materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them easily, such as rubber and glass.

Front

What is resistance?

Back

The opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms, which can affect how much current flows in a circuit.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to power circuits.

Front

What is an LED?

Back

A Light Emitting Diode, a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it.

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A complete path through which electric charges can flow, consisting of a power source, conductors, and components.
