Circuits
What is a circuit?
A circuit is a path that electricity flows through
Name one conductor.
Examples: copper, aluminum, or silver
What is an insulator?
An insulator is a material that blocks electricity.
What is a short circuit?
A short circuit occurs when electricity flows through an unintended path.
What does polarity mean?
Polarity tells us the direction electricity flows.
What is a conductor?
A conductor is something that lets electricity flow easily.
Why do we need conductors?
We need them to help electricity travel through circuits.
Name one insulator.
Examples: Rubber, glass, or plastic.
What can cause a short circuit?
Damaged wires or connections can cause a short circuit.
Why is polarity important?
It ensures devices work properly and safely.
What is an insulator?
An insulator is something that stops electricity from flowing.
What happens in a circuit with a conductor?
The electricity flows and powers thing like lights.
Why do we need insulators?
To keep electricity from escaping and to keep us safe.
Why is a short circuit dangerous?
It can cause fires or damage to devices.
How do we know if something has the right polarity?
By looking at signs or markings on batteries and wires.
What is a short circuit?
A short circuit is when electricity flows where it shouldn't, which can be dangerous.
Name a use for a conductor.
Wires in electronic devices use conductors to work.
What happens without an insulator?
Electricity can escape and cause shocks or fires.
How can we prevent a short circuit?
By using proper insulation and checking for damages.
What happens with wrong polarity?
Devices may not work or can get damaged.
What is Polarity?
Polarity tells us which way the electricity flows in a circuit.
How do conductors help electricity?
They provide a path for electricity to travel easily.
Give an example of an insulator.
Examples: Rubber on wires is an insulator.
What happens in a short circuit?
The electricity flows too fast and can create heat or sparks.
Give an example of polarity in a battery.
The positive (+) and negative (-) ends of a battery are examples of polarity.
