| Single-pole, single-throw can be abbreviated as ____. | SPST |
| Electrical components can be connected together in two basic ways: in ____ or in ____. | series, parallel |
| In a _____ circuit, the current has only one electrical path to follow. | series |
| In a _____ circuit, the current has two or more electrical paths to follow. | parallel |
| _____ are used to lower voltage in a circuit, and as a result, limit the current. | Resistors |
| A _____ is a type of switch that works through electromagnetism. | relay |
| There are two basic types of relays: _______ and _______. | normally open, normally closed |
| A _______ relay closes the circuit when current is applied to it, and when the current is removed it opens the circuit. | normally open |
| When current is applied to a _______ relay, it breaks the circuit, and when current is removed from it, it closes the circuit. | normally closed |
