in parallel circuits different components are connected on different
branches of the wire. If you follow the circuit diagram from one side of the
cell to the other, you can only pass through all the differents components if
yuo follow all the branches
open
An incomplete
electrical circuit in
which no current flows
close
An electricac circuit
providing an
uninterrupted, endless
path for the flow of
current
series
if you follow the circuit diagram from one side
of the cell to the other, you should pass
through all the different components, one
after the other, without any branches. if a
lamp breaks is disconnected, the circuit is
broken and all the components stop working
is a path between two or more points along which an electrical current can be carried
