What is electricity?

Back

Electricity is the flow of electric charge, typically through a conductor.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electric charges to flow easily, such as copper or aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electric charges to flow, such as rubber or glass.

Front

What is an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet is a type of magnet that is created by an electric current flowing through a coil of wire.

Front

What is a switch?

Back

A switch is a device that can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What is a load in an electrical circuit?

Back

A load is any component in a circuit that consumes electrical energy, such as a light bulb or motor.

Front

What is a power source?

Back

A power source is a device that provides electrical energy to a circuit, such as a battery or generator.
