| resistor | an object added to a circuit that restricts the flow of electrical energy;inhibits the flow of electric current by producing a voltage drop when a current passes through it |
| switch | a device used to control the flow of current through a circuit |
| series circuit | a circuit in which the parts are joined one after another such that the current in each part is the same |
