Electricity Flashcards
Loads
Device that electrical energy is delivered to in a circuit
Electric current
Continuous flow of electric chance
Wires
Connect the energy source to the load in a circuit
Energy source
Pushes electrical changes through circuit
Switch
Opens and closes a circuit
Series circuit
Is a circuit where the loads are connected in a line so that the current flows from one load to the next in a single path
Parallel circuit
Is a circuit where the electric current is divided among multiple loads
Circuit
Is the path through which an electric current flows
Closed circuit
A switch is connected the current flows, completing the circuit as it moves through the load
Open circuit
The switch is disconnected you are breaking the circuit, preventing the electrons from moving
If you split a magnet in half both ends will still have ______ poles
Two/ north to south or south to north
The three main parts of a circuit
1) loads 2) energy source 3) wires 4) switch
