Electric Circuits

Front

What is an electric circuit?

Back

An electric circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow, providing a path for electricity to power devices.

Front

What is the role of a switch in an electric circuit?

Back

A switch is used to open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

Front

What happens when a circuit is closed?

Back

When a circuit is closed, electricity can flow through it, powering devices like lights or motors.

Front

What is a fuse in an electric circuit?

Back

A fuse is a safety device that protects a circuit by breaking the connection if the current is too high.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor.

Front

What is the purpose of a battery in a circuit?

Back

A battery provides the electrical energy needed to power devices in a circuit.

Front

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

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 an LED?

Back

An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it.

Front

What is energy transformation in a circuit?

Back

Energy transformation in a circuit refers to the conversion of one form of energy into another, such as electrical energy into light energy.

Front

What does it mean for a circuit to be open?

Back

An open circuit means there is a break in the path, preventing electricity from flowing.
