Electricity circuits
| What is Ohm's law? | Current*resistance= Voltage |
| What is a series circuit? | A circuit that has only one way for energy to travel |
| What is a parallel circuit? | A circuit that allows multiple ways for energy to travel |
| What does every circuit consist of? | A power source, conductor wires, and a resistor |
| What is the difference of a series circuit and a parallel circuit? | A parallel circuit has multiple ways of energy travel and a series circuit has one |
| What is a voltmeter? | A devise used to measure voltage, or electrical potential energy |
| What is ammeter? | A devise used to measure current |
| What is a short circuit? | Short circuits is a connection that allows current to take the path of least resistance |
| What measures help protect people from electrical shocks and short circuits? | A measure of current |
| What is the difference between a circuit breaker and a fuses? | A circuit breaker is a reusable safety switch that breaks the circuit when there is a lot of energy a fuse melts when there is too much energy |
| What does grounded mean | Grounded means when charges flow directly from the circuit into the earth. |
