Conductor Wire Function

Allows electric current to flow through a circuit.

Break in a Series Circuit

The circuit is opened, and current flow stops entirely.

Purpose of a Switch

To control the flow of electric current by opening or closing the circuit.

Series vs. Parallel Circuits

Series circuits have one path; parallel circuits have multiple.
