What is a complete circuit?

Back

A complete circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow from a power source, through wires, and to a device that uses energy, returning back to the power source.

Front

What does a closed circuit mean?

Back

A closed circuit is a complete electrical circuit through which current can flow without interruption.

Front

What is electric current?

Back

Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes (A).

Front

How many pathways can electricity follow in a series circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, electricity can only follow one pathway.

Front

How many pathways can electricity follow in a parallel circuit?

Back

In a parallel circuit, electricity can follow multiple pathways.

Front

What is a power source in an electrical circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

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

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a broken or incomplete circuit where electricity cannot flow.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects, which can discharge suddenly.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

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