This document provides 15 key definitions and explanations related to electric circuits, aimed at middle school level science education. It covers essential concepts such as series and parallel circuits, electric current, voltage, safety devices like circuit breakers and fuses, and distinctions between conductors and insulators. The material is ideal for early learners or introductory classes in physics.

1. parallel circuits: A circuit where all loads are on separate branches and allow
current to take several pathways.




2. volt: The unit of electric potential difference, or how strong the power source is.
A 1.5 volt battery has less voltage than a 9 volt battery.



3. ground prong: The third prong on a plug that helps protect against short circuits
or an unintended pathway for electrons.


4. electric current: The flow of electric charges through a wire or any material.




5. circuit breaker: When a circuit becomes overloaded, it shuts off current power
by flipping a switch.




6. electric circuit: A complete, closed path that electricity flows through. Circuit
means to go around and around.


7. series circuit: A circuit that has 1 path for charges to flow. If the path is open
electrons will not flow.


8. short circuit: An untended path that allows current to bypass the loads in a circu
It can be dangerous or start a fire.
