Electricity

What is an electrical circuit?

• a whole bunch of wires

• a circuit board

• a broken path that electric charges can flow

• a complete, unbroken path through which electric charges flow

When a switch is open...

• the circuit is working and gives energy

• the circuit is turning lights on

• the circuit is broken and charges cannot flow

• I don't know...

Describe a series circuit

• a circuit that has multiple branches

• a circuit that dead ends after a light bulb

• a circuit that has one path

What is a parallel circuit?

• a continuous loop

• a circuit with multiple branches for each individual appliance or light

• a circuit with one path
