What is a wire in an electric circuit?

Back

A wire is a conductor that connects different components of a circuit, allowing electricity to flow between them.

Front

What is a motor in an electric circuit?

Back

A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, often used to create movement.

Front

What is a positive terminal?

Back

The positive terminal is the part of a battery or power source where electric current flows out.

Front

What is a negative terminal?

Back

The negative terminal is the part of a battery or power source where electric current flows in.

Front

What is needed to complete a circuit?

Back

To complete a circuit, a conductive path is needed, which can be made using wires.

Front

What happens when a circuit is complete?

Back

When a circuit is complete, electricity flows through it, powering devices like bulbs or motors.

Front

What is the role of a bulb in a circuit?

Back

A bulb converts electrical energy into light energy when electricity flows through it.
