What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, meaning electricity cannot flow through it.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete circuit that allows electricity to flow.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit where components are connected one after another, so the same current flows through all of them.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of circuit where components are connected across common points, allowing electricity to flow through multiple paths.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

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

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, such as wood or plastic.

Front

What happens when a switch is closed in a circuit?

Back

When a switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow and power the devices connected.

Front

What happens when a switch is open in a circuit?

Back

When a switch is open, it breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores electrical energy and provides power to a circuit.

Front

What is a light bulb?

Back

A light bulb is a device that converts electrical energy into light energy.
