Question Answer
An energy source battery,power plant, thermocouple, photocell, generator
Wires to conduct electrons and connect the different parts of circuit
A resistance light bulb, appliance, machine, motor - converts current into heat, light or mechanical energy
A switch opens and closes circuit allowing a path for electrons to flow
Series -all the parts are connected one after another -only one path for electrons to flow -a break in any circuit will stop electron flow -ex. holiday tree lights
parallel -different parts of the circuit are on separate branches -several paths for electrons to flow-if there is a break in one branch, electrons can still move through other branches
Electric Current the flow of charged particles
Conductors Allow electrons to flow easily through them
Voltage the amount of energy required to move a charge between two points
