Electricity

Front

What does the resistance of a wire tell you?

Back

It tells you how tough it is for electrons to flow through it.

Front

What kind of circuit has only one path for the electrons to follow?

Back

Series circuit.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected end-to-end, providing a single path for current to flow.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, providing multiple paths for current to flow.

Front

What does a switch do in a circuit?

Back

It opens and closes the circuit.

Front

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

Back

A conductor allows electricity to flow through it.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when more resistors are added?

Back

The total resistance increases.

Front

What happens to the total current in a series circuit when more resistors are added?

Back

The total current decreases.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
