Electricty and Magnetism Flashcards
1
Q
An electrical 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 source.
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.
A
circuit
