Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed loop that allows electrical current to flow.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, preventing electrical current from flowing.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete circuit that allows electrical current to flow.

Front

What can cause a light bulb not to light up in a circuit?

Back

Possible causes include an open switch, a dead battery, or a loose connection.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of recording observations in an experiment?
