What is a Parallel Circuit?

Back

A type of electrical circuit where components are connected alongside each other, allowing multiple paths for current to flow.

Front

What is a Series Circuit?

Back

A type of electrical circuit where components are connected one after another, so the current has only one path to follow.

What is a Conductor?

Back

A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is Electric Current?

Back

A continuous flow of electric charge, typically measured in amperes.

Front

What happens in a Series Circuit if one component fails?

Back

The entire circuit stops working because the current has only one path to follow.

Front

What does DC stand for in electrical terms?

Back

Direct Current, which is the flow of electric charge in one direction.

Front

What is a Resistor?

Back

A component that resists the flow of electric current, used to control the current in a circuit.

Front

What is Voltage?

Back

The difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, measured in volts.

Front

What is a Battery?

Back

A device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy to provide power.
