Directions: Identify the word being described in each item. 6. A circuit with only one pathway for the current to flow through. 7. A circuit with two or more pathways for the current to flow through.
The defining characteristic of a series circuit is that there is only one path for current to flow. In this circuit, the current flows in a clockwise direction, from point 1 to point 2 to point 3 to point 4 and back around to 1.
7. A "parallel" circuit has two or more paths for the electricity. You will first wire a simple circuit which will allow you to test materials for conductivity. Next some circuits will be wired to demonstrate the effects of series and parallel circuits on components in the circuit.
