• electric current

• parallel circuit

• filament

• series circuit

a circuit that has two or more paths through which electric charges may flow

• parallel circuit

• insulator

• conductor

Why do parts plugs have plastic or metal (choose two)

• directs the flow of electricity

• lets the electric charge move easily

• insulates the electricity & protects us

• to make it look pretty
