Front

What is conduction?

Back

The transfer of charged particles between two conductors.

Front

What is an electromagnet?

Back

A magnet created by wrapping a current-carrying wire around a ferromagnetic core.

Front

What is electromagnetism?

Back

The interaction between electric charges and magnets.

Front

What is a closed circuit?

Back

A circuit that is complete and electric energy flows through the circuit.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

A circuit that is not complete and no electric energy flows through the circuit.

Front

What is current?

Back

The flow of electric charge in a circuit.

Front

What is voltage?

Back

The electric potential difference between two points in a circuit.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit in which the components are connected end-to-end, so that the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A circuit in which the components are connected across common points or junctions, providing multiple paths for the current.

Front

What is resistance?

Back

The opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms.
