Electricity/Circuits

A __________________________ is a circuit that has two or more paths for the electricity to flow.

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

• circuit

A __________________________ is a complete path around which electricity can flow. It must include a source of electricity, such as a battery.

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

• circuit

A __________________________ is a circuit with the components arranged in a straight line, so all the current flows through each part in turn.

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

• circuit

A substance, usually a metal like copper or aluminum, that allows electricity to flow is a ____________________.

• insulator

• conductor

• switch

A device used to open and close a circuit is a ________________.

• insulator

• conductor

• switch

A material, such as common plastic, rubber, glass, or air, that prevents the flow of electricity is an _________________.

• insulator

• conductor

• switch
