Electricity
SERIES CIRCUITS: One continuous flow
of electrons.
PARALLEL CIRCUITS: A circuit with
different branches for electrons to
flow through.
Fill in the gaps.
Electricity is the flow of negatively
charged particles called
_______________.
Electrons flow from the _________ () terminal to the ___________ (+)
terminal.
Metal wires are good ___________
for electric current because they
allow the electrons to flow easily,
compared to insulators that do not
allow electric current to travel.
