In this activity you will: • In this activity you will learn about two types of circuits. • You will write a paragraph comparing and contrasting circuits.
Electric Currents An electric current is a flow of electric charges.
Series Circuit • A circuit that only has one path for current to flow through is called a series circuit.
If the path is broken, no current flows through the circuit.
Parallel Circuits • A type of circuit that has more than one path for current is called a parallel circuit.
If one part of the path is removed, the current continues to flow through the other paths of the circuit.
Writing Activity • Write a compare and contrast paragraph using the information found in this presentation.
