How does a switch work in a circuit?

Back

A switch opens or closes a circuit, allowing or stopping the flow of electricity.

Front

What happens when you add more batteries in series?

Back

Adding more batteries in series increases the voltage, which can make devices work faster or brighter.

Front

What is the role of wires in an electric circuit?

Back

Wires connect the components of a circuit and allow electricity to flow between them.

Front

What is the function of a light bulb in a circuit?

Back

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy, allowing us to see.

Front

What is the difference between series and parallel circuits?

Back

In a series circuit, components are connected one after another, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected across the same voltage source.

Front

What is a battery?

Back

A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy.
