Front

What is electricity?

Back

Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge, typically through wires.

Front

What are electrons?

Back

Electrons are negatively charged particles that flow through a circuit.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a broken loop where electricity cannot flow.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

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

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, such as copper or aluminum.

Front

What happens when you add more lightbulbs to a circuit?

Back

Adding more lightbulbs can make them dimmer because the total resistance increases.

Front

What is resistance in a circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.

Front

What is the role of wires in a circuit?

Back

Wires connect different components in a circuit and allow electricity to flow between them.
