Study Notes

Open and Closed Circuits

An Open Circuit is incomplete, preventing the flow of electricity.
A Closed Circuit allows for continuous flow of electrons, completing the electrical loop.

Series and Parallel Circuits

Series Circuits connect devices in a single path, meaning if one device fails, the whole circuit fails.
Parallel Circuits have multiple paths for electron flow, allowing devices to operate independently. If one device fails, others continue to function.

Characteristics of Closed Parallel Circuits

A Closed Parallel Circuit is fully functional, with electrons flowing freely through multiple pathways.
Lights in a parallel circuit appear brighter than those in a series circuit due to less voltage drop across each component.
