Electric Circuits

Electricity that has only one path to travel from one point on the circuit through the wires, batteries, and bulb and back to the starting point.

• Series Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

Electricity that travels along more than one path around the circuit.

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

Materials that are sometimes conductors and sometimes insulators.

• filamant

• circuit

• semiconductor
