Electrical Circuits

In this activity you will: In this activity you will learn about two types of circuits. You will write a paragraph comparing and contrasting circuits.

Electric Currents An electric current is a flow of electric charges.

A circuit is the path that is made for an electric current.

Series Circuit A circuit that only has one path for current to flow through is called a series circuit.

If the path is broken, no current flows through the circuit.

Parallel Circuits A type of circuit that has more than one path for current is called a parallel circuit.

If one part of the path is removed, the current continues to flow through the other paths of the circuit.

Writing Activity Write a compare and contrast paragraph using the information found in this presentation.
