What is a series circuit

• Closed circuit

• Open circuit

• There is only one path current can flow.

• There is more than one path that current can flow.

What is an open circuit

• Electric current is intercepted a break in the circuit and cannot completed its path

• Flow of electricity

• Electric current flows freely through the circuit from negative to positive.

• Closed circuit
