Electricity

Front

What type of electricity is created by rubbing certain materials together?

Back

Static electricity

Front

What is an example of an open circuit?

Back

An open circuit is one where the path is broken, preventing current from flowing.

Front

What is an example of a closed circuit?

Back

A closed circuit is one where the path is complete, allowing current to flow.

Front

What is an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet is created by wrapping a wire around iron and connecting it to a power source.

Front

What is the purpose of plastic wrapping around copper wires?

Back

Plastic acts as an insulator, preventing electric current from escaping.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What happens in a series circuit?

Back

In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single path, so the same current flows through all of them.

Front

What happens in a parallel circuit?

Back

In a parallel circuit, components are connected across common points, allowing multiple paths for current to flow.

Front

What is the role of a switch in a circuit?

Back

A switch controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit.
