Front

What happens to the other bulbs in a parallel circuit if one light bulb is removed?

Back

The other bulbs will stay on.

Front

What do generators produce?

Back

Electricity.

Front

In which type of circuit would the bulbs be the brightest?

Back

In a parallel circuit.

Front

What is an advantage of a series circuit regarding overheating?

Back

The circuit does not overheat easily.

Front

How many pathways for electron flow does a series circuit have?

Back

One.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points, providing multiple pathways for current.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

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

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 resistance in a parallel circuit when more resistors are added?

Back

The total resistance decreases.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

V = I × R, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.
