Energy part 2 Flashcards
Energy Transfer
When energy moves from one place to another.
Pathway
Ex: conducting wires that connect the two terminals of the battery.
Open Circuits
Open Circuits: An open Circuits is a circuits in Which the path is Incomplete which means there is no flow of current.
Closed Circuits
Closed Circuits: A closed circuit is a in which the path is complete and there is a flow of current in the entire path.
Switch
