27
Q

Pros of series circuit

A

Same amount of electric charge, all electrical components are controlled by the same switch

28
Q

Cons of series circuit

A

One bad, all bad.,

29
Q

Pros of parallel circuit

A

All can be controlled separately, one bad will still be ok

30
Q

For a room, which circuit is better. Why.

A

Parallel, can be controlled separately. One bad, all still ok

31
Q

Electric magnet

A

Electric conductor

32
Q

Electricmagnet eg

A

straight wire, a coiled wire or a solenoid

33
Q

Electromagnet becomes a

A

temporary magnet when an electric current flows through the electric conductor

34
Q

Strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet

A

Amount of the electric current that flows

35
Q

Advantage of an electromagnet

A

strength of its magnetic field can change according to the amount of the electric current that flows through the electromagnet.
