Physics Final Exam Review

This is the complete loop that allows electric current to flow.

• Conductor

• Circuit

• Insulator

• Resistor

In this type of circuit, all components are connected in a single path.

• Parallel circuit

• Series circuit

• Mixed circuit

• Open circuit

In this type of circuit, components are connected in multiple paths.

• Series circuit

• Open circuit

• Parallel circuit

• Short circuit

This occurs when a low-resistance pathway bypasses part of a circuit.

• Broken circuit

• Short circuit

• Series circuit

• Parallel circuit

This happens to a circuit when a wire or component is disconnected.

• Closed circuit

• Broken circuit

• Short circuit

• Parallel circuit

These two fields are interrelated and create electromagnetic waves.

• Electric and gravitational fields

• Magnetic and gravitational fields

• Electric and magnetic fields

• Magnetic and thermal fields
