| A | B |
| series circuit | an electrical loop with only one path for electricity to flow |
| electric current | electric charges in motion |
| resistance | not allowing electricity to flow easily |
| parallel circuit | an electrical loop with more then one path electricity can follow |
| short circuit | electrical current follows a path other than the path it is meant to follow |
| electric charge | a tiny amount of energy |
| static electricity | occurs when positive and negative charges separate and build up |
| switch | an object that starts and stops the flow of electricity |
