Circuit Review

Front

What happens if the switch is closed in a circuit?

Back

The circuit becomes closed and the current flows.

Front

What occurs if there is no resistor in your circuit?

Back

There will be a short circuit.

Front

Will the lightbulb light up in an open circuit?

Back

No, because it is an open circuit.

Front

What type of circuit is formed when all components are connected in a single path?

Back

Series circuit.

Front

What type of circuit allows multiple paths for current to flow?

Back

Parallel circuit.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

A circuit where the path is broken, preventing current from flowing.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A complete circuit that allows current to flow.

Front

What is a short circuit?

Back

An unintended path in a circuit that allows current to flow with little or no resistance.

Front

What is the role of a resistor in a circuit?

Back

To limit the flow of current.

Front

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

Back

The current stops flowing in the entire circuit.
