Electricity Flashcards
1
Q
A circuit in which current follows more than one path. Each device that is wired in a parallel circuit has its own path to and from the voltage source.
A
parallel circuit
2
Q
A closed path through which charge can flow.
A
circuit
3
Q
An electrical device that slows the flow of charge in a circuit.
A
resistor
4
Q
A circuit in which current flows a single path. Each device that is wired in a series circuit shares a path to and from the voltage source.
A
series circuit
6
Q
An unintended and undesired path connecting one part of a circuit with another.
A
short circuit
