Circuits

Front

What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electricity flows.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

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

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 plastic.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of circuit where the components are connected in a single path, so the current flows through one component to get to the next.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of circuit where the components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing multiple paths for the current.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects, often caused by friction.

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 are magnetic poles?

Back

Magnetic poles are the regions of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest, typically labeled as north and south.

Front

What is the role of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to push the current through the circuit.

Front

What is a light bulb in a circuit?

Back

A light bulb is a device that converts electrical energy into light energy when current flows through it.
