Term | Definition |

What did Ohm discover? | Georg Ohm found that current voltage and resistance in a circuit are always related in the same way |
What have a constant resistance regardless of the applied voltage? | Conductors |
Ohm's Law | Resistance = voltage / current |
What is a circuit made of? | All electric circuits have: devices that run on electrical energy, sources of electrical energy, and conducting wires. |
Electrical Sources | Batteries and power plants |
Circuit Resistors | Appliances that transform electrical energy like a toaster |
Conducting Wires | Allow charges to flow from the energy source to the device and back to the energy source |
Switch | Controls current/ if opened it shuts off device |
Series Circuit | All parts of an electric circuit are connected one after another along one path |
Parallel Circuit | Different parts of the circuit are in separate branches |
