An example of a parallel circuit is

• the wiring in a house
• a flashlight
• a single circular path

What kind of circuit is this?

• series
• parallel

What does the switch do in a circuit?

• It supplies the power.
• It carries electricity.
• It opens and closes the circuit.
• It is an insulator.

tiny particles that have a negative charge

• protons
• neutrons
• electrons
• circuits

NGSS.MS-PS2-5

provides more than one path for the electrons to follow

• series circuit
• parallel circuit
• insulator
• conductor

What is one problem with using a series circuit? 

• It has a lot of series. 
• If one light goes down, they all go down! 
• It doesn't work properly.
• There are no problems.
