What is a series circuit?
Back
A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so that the current flows through each component in turn. If one component fails, the entire circuit is broken.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a parallel circuit?
Back
A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, providing multiple paths for the current to flow. If one component fails, the current can still flow through other paths.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a conductor?
Back
A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an insulator?
Back
An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include rubber, glass, and plastic.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What factors affect the resistance of a material?
Back
The resistance of a material is affected by its thickness, temperature, and length. Thicker wires have less resistance, higher temperatures increase resistance, and longer wires have more resistance.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is resistance in an electrical circuit?
Back
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is measured in ohms (Ω).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when more resistors are added?
Back
In a series circuit, the total resistance increases as more resistors are added.
