Electricity Flashcards
1
Q
An electric device that slows the flow of charge in a circuit.
A
Resistor
2
Q
An unintended and undesired path connecting one part of a circuit with another.
A
Short Circuit
3
Q
A circuit in which current follows a single path. Each device that is wired in a series circuit shares a path to and from the voltage force.
A
Series Circuit
4
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
5
Q
A closed path through which charge can flow.
