How a Blender Gets Power • A Generator at a power plant produces a voltage difference across the outlet • Causes charges to move when the circuit is complete • Blender and circuit in the house contain conducting wires to carry the current • Blender turns electrical energy into kinetic energy and sound • When unplugged or turned off, an open circuit is created breaking the path of the current
Series Circuit • Current has only one loop to flow through
What would happen if your home was wired in a series circuit and you turned off one light?
Parallel Circuit • Contains two or more branches for current to move through
