    • When a switch is closed, there are no breaks in the pathway for electrons to travel along, so they can move freely between the two terminals.
    • In a parallel circuit, there are two or more paths that current can flow through.
    • The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of all resistances in the circuit.
    • A combination circuit is a circuit that combines both series and parallel circuits within the same system.
    • A parallel circuit is a circuit where the components are connected in multiple paths, allowing the current to have more than one way to flow.
    • A series circuit is a circuit where the components are arranged in a single path for the current to flow.
    • A series circuit is a circuit where the components are arranged in a single path for the current to flow.
    • A series circuit is when the components are connected one after another.
    • The resistance of a component determines how much current will flow when there is a potential difference across the component.
    • The resistance of a component determines how much current will flow when there is a potential difference across the component.
    • A circuit is complete when the current can flow from positive to negative.
    • A series circuit consists of one or more components connected end-to-end with no branches.
    • The resistance of a component determines how much current will flow when there is a potential difference across the component.
    • A series circuit consists of one or more components connected end-to-end with no branches.
    • A series circuit consists of one or more components connected end-to-end with no branches.
    • In a parallel circuit, all components have their own separate paths from the power supply to the ground.
    • In a parallel circuit, all components have their own separate paths from the power supply to the ground.
    • The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of all individual resistances.
    • The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of all individual resistances.
    • A fuse is used as an overload protection device in electrical appliances.
    • Electric motors have three main parts - stator, rotor, and commutator.
    • The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of all individual resistances.
    • Electric motors have three main parts - stator, rotor, and commutator.
    • Electric potential difference (V) is measured using a voltmeter.
    • Current (I) is measured using an ammeter.
    • An open circuit occurs when an electrical component has been disconnected from the power source.
    • A series circuit has only one path for the current to follow.
    • A short circuit happens when there is a direct connection between two points in a circuit without any resistance.
    • In a parallel circuit, if any component fails (either opens or shorts), it will not affect the other components in the circuit.
    • Resistance (R) is measured using an ohmmeter.
    • If a fuse blows in a parallel circuit, only the branch with the blown fuse will be affected, while the rest of the branches continue to function normally.
    • If a fuse blows in a parallel circuit, only the branch with the blown fuse will be affected, while the rest of the branches continue to function normally.
    • In a series circuit, if any component fails or breaks down, it will stop the whole circuit from working.
    • In a series circuit, if any component fails or breaks down, it will stop the whole circuit from working.
    • Electric shock refers to the sensation felt by humans or animals due to exposure to electric current.
    • Electric shock refers to the sensation felt by humans or animals due to exposure to electric current.
    • Electric shock refers to the sensation felt by humans or animals due to exposure to electric current.
    • In a series circuit, if any part of the circuit breaks down or fails, then no current can flow through that part of the circuit.
    • If there's only one bulb in a series circuit, then the voltage across the bulb would be the full supply voltage.
    • If there's only one bulb in a series circuit, then the voltage across the bulb would be the full supply voltage.
