1. Circuits Series & Parallel

2. What type of circuit is this? Series Circuit-has only one path for electrons to flow.

3. What are the different parts of a circuit? Energy Source Energy source is the device that powers the circuit. The basic unit of force isVoltage. Current flow is measured in Amperes (amps).

4. What are the different parts of a circuit? Energy Source Control Device The Control Device opens and closes a circuit. An open circuit doesn’t work a closed circuit could work.

5. What are the different parts of a circuit? Energy Source Control Device Load The Load changes the energy of moving electrons into some other useful form of energy. It is the purpose of the circuit.

6. What are the different parts of a circuit? Energy Source Control Device Load The Conductors The Conductors provide the paths for the electrons to flow.

7. What type of circuit is this? Energy Source Control Device Load The Conductors Parallel Circuit-has two or more paths for electrons to flow.

8. Conductors What is a conductor? Material that allows electrons to flow What is an insulator? Material that doesn’t allow electrons to flow Name four good conductors Aluminum, copper, gold & silver
