What is a switch's function in a circuit?

• to make the current hotter or colder
• turn on and off the flow of current
• the pathway that current flows
• to add more power to the circuit

The path of electrical current

The electric current in a closed circuit always flow from the ______ terminal of the electric cell to the _______ terminal.

What is a circuit?

• A constant flow of electricity 
• A path that a current can flow along

If the electric circuit is CLOSED, the switch is _______. 

• ON
• OFF

What is a Parallel circuit?
