What is a circuit?

Back

A circuit is a closed path through which electricity flows.

Front

What is an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is a circuit that is not complete, preventing electricity from flowing.

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 in a single path, so the same current flows through all components.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

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

Front

What happens if you cut a wire in a series circuit?

Back

If you cut a wire in a series circuit, all components will stop working because the circuit is broken.

Front

What happens if you cut a wire in a parallel circuit?

Back

If you cut a wire in a parallel circuit, the other components can still work because there are multiple paths for the current.

Front

Why do electricians wear rubber gloves?

Back

Electricians wear rubber gloves to protect themselves from electric shock.

Front

What is the purpose of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch is used to open or close a circuit, controlling 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.
