Basic Electricity Concepts

What is a circuit?

• A circuit is a closed loop for electric current.

• A circuit is a method of communication.

• A circuit is a type of electronic device.

• A circuit is a type of electrical charge.

What do we need to make a circuit work?

• A resistor and a fuse

• A single wire and a switch

• Only a battery is needed

• A power source, conductive materials, and a load.

What is a battery used for in a circuit?

• To convert AC to DC in a circuit.

• To increase the resistance in a circuit.

• A battery is used to supply electrical energy in a circuit.

• To store data in a circuit.

What happens when you turn off a switch in a circuit?

• The switch generates more power.

• The flow of electric current stops.

• The circuit becomes more efficient.

• The lights become brighter.

Can a circuit be open and still work?

• Yes, an open circuit can still power some devices.

• Open circuits can function with wireless energy transfer.

• No, a circuit cannot be open and still work in the traditional sense, but certain components can allow temporary functionality.

• An open circuit can work if it has a battery connected.

What is a wire used for in a circuit?

• To increase resistance in the circuit

• A wire is used to conduct electricity in a circuit.

• To store electrical energy

• To insulate the circuit components

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

• To act as a switch that controls the flow of electricity.

• To increase the voltage in the circuit.

• The role of a light bulb in a circuit is to convert electrical energy into light and heat.

• To store electrical energy for later use.

What do we call the path that electricity flows through?

• Voltage

• Wire

• Current

• Circuit

What happens if there is a break in the circuit?

• The circuit stops functioning.

• The circuit becomes more efficient.

• The circuit generates additional power.

• The circuit continues to function normally.

Why is it important to be safe around electricity?

• Electricity is only dangerous in wet conditions.

• Electricity can be safely ignored in household settings.

• It is important to be safe around electricity to prevent injuries, fatalities, and property damage.

• Being safe around electricity is unnecessary for professionals.
