What is a series circuit?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electricity in a circuit; a closed switch allows current to flow, while an open switch stops the flow.

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

Back

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy when current flows through it.

Front

What is resistance in an electrical circuit?

Back

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current, typically measured in ohms.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily, such as copper or aluminum.
