What are conductors?
Materials that let charges flow
through them easily
2,1
What is voltage?
The strength of a power source
2,2
What is false?

4,4
What is a circuit breaker?
This stops the flow of charges by
switching off the current if it
gets too high

What is a fuse?
This melts and breaks the circuit
if the electric current in any
part of a circuit gets too high
5,2
What is true?
A path with little resistance is
sometimes called a series circuit
