electricity Flashcards
How will an electrical current flow
If the circuit is complete
What must the power source be joined to
The other end by the wires and components of the circuit
How many paths is there to go for the current in a series circuit
One
As more bulbs added in a series circuit what happens
Each becomes dimmer
When one complement fails in a series circuit what happens
The whole circuit fails
How many paths can you take for the current to flow in a parallel circuit
More than one
As more bulbs were added in a parallel circuit what happens
The bulbs remain bright
If one component fails in a parallel circuit what happens
The rest of the circuit continues to work
What do conductors do
Conductors are substances which electric current cam flow through easily
What are insulators
Insulators are substances which stop electric current flowing
