1.
Electrical Circuit is a closed path that electricity follows. It is made up of different parts, including a power source
2.
(such as a light bulb or a motor). Electricity flows through the circuit, powering the devices connected to it.
3.
A circuit where electricity can flow because all the connections are complete. Think of a light switch in the "on" position—electricity flows, and the light turns on.
4.
A circuit that has a break, stopping the flow of electricity. If a wire is disconnected or a switch is off, the circuit is open, and the device won’t work.
5.
In a series circuit, all the electrical parts are connected in one single loop. This means that electricity has only one path to follow.
6.
In a parallel circuit, the electrical parts are connected on multiple paths. This means that electricity can flow through different branches.
7.
A combination circuit is a mix of series and parallel circuits. Some parts are connected in series, while others are in parallel.
8.
Electricity flows in one direction only.
9.
Electricity changes direction many times per second.
10.
A tiny particle that carries electric charge. When electrons move through a wire, they create an electric current.
11.
Measures how much electricity is flowing in a circuit. Think of it like the amount of water flowing through a hose.
12.
Measures resistance, or how hard it is for electricity to flow. Think of it like a narrow pipe slowing down water.
13.
Measures how much energy is used by an electrical device. More power means a device uses more energy.
