Electrical Circuits

  • Parallel Circuit
    A circuit that contains more than one path for current flow.
    A circuit that contains more than one path for current flow.
  • Series Circuit
    An electric circuit with a single path
    An electric circuit with a single path
  • Electric Current
    A continuous flow of electric charge
    A continuous flow of electric charge
  • Closed Circuit
    A pathway that allows an electric current to flow freely - light is on!
    A pathway that allows an electric current to flow freely - light is on!
  • Open Circuit
    A pathway that prevents electric current from flowing freely or stops the flow - light is off!
    A pathway that prevents electric current from flowing freely or stops the flow - light is off!
  • Conductor
    A material that allows heat and electricity to flow through it
  • Insulator
    A material that stops heat and electric current from flowing
  • Electric Circuit
    The pathway through which electric current (electron) flows.
    The pathway through which electric current (electron) flows.
  • Examples of insulators
    Rubber, styrofoam, cotton
  • Examples of conductors
    Paperclip, penny, pencil lead
  • Mechanical energy
    Kinetic and potential energy, the energy of moving things
  • Current
    The rate of electron flow in a circuit
