Automobile Wiring

• Responsible for transmitting electrical signals and power between various components and systems in a car.

• An electrical circuit in which components are connected end-to-end in a single path, so the same current flows through each component sequentially

• An electrical circuit in which components are connected across common points or junctions, creating multiple paths for the current to flow.

• A system in which no matter is allowed to enter or leave.

Electrical Energy

• Responsible for transmitting electrical signals and power between various components and systems in a car.

• An electrical circuit in which components are connected across common points or junctions, creating multiple paths for the current to flow.

• Energy related to forces on electrically charged particles and the movement of those particles

• The transfer of thermal energy through currents in fluids.

Parallel Circuit

• An electrical circuit in which components are connected end-to-end in a single path, so the same current flows through each component sequentially

• An electrical circuit in which components are connected across common points or junctions, creating multiple paths for the current to flow.

• Properties of particles that cause them to attract or repel each other. Can be either positive or negative.

• A complete route that an electric current can flow around in an everyday situation, such as a car or a house
