3
Comes from Latin word that means, “to go around.” A circuit is a path provided to allow electrons to flow. A circuit allows the energy from a power source (battery) to travel along to the load(light-bulb), in order to it energy.
4
PARALLEL CIRCUITS Parallel circuits allow electrons to have more than one path on which they can travel. If one light bulb goes out, the other light bulbs stay lit.
5
In a series circuit there is only one path for electrons to follow. If one light bulb goes out, then the rest of the light bulbs go out.
6
PARALLEL Bulbs are brighter! Most have their houses wired in a parallel circuit.
7
Can add more than one power source. Adding more light bulbs does affect the circuit’s resistance. Why?
