Electricity & Magnetism Chapter 2.3 Pages 64-67 Series & Parallel Circuits
Circuits • A Closed Circuitis a circuit that is complete and has no breaks in it
Circuits • An Open Circuitis a circuit that is incomplete and has one or more gaps in it
Pathfinding • Parts of the circuit are connected one after another • There are several paths for the current to take Series Parallel
Pathfinding Pros and Cons + Simple to design and build - One disconnect ruins circuit - Higher resistance, less light + Not affected by a single disconnect + Adding bulbs does not increases resistance. Series Parallel
What to Work On • Read Section 2.3, pages 64-67 • Answer the Section Review questions on page 67 (#’s 1-4) DUE: Tuesday, April 3rd
