| series circuit | a circuit that has only one path for the flow of charge |
| parallel circuit | a circuit that has more than one path for the flow of charge |
| Kirchhoff's voltage law | in a circuit, all the voltage drops must add up to the total voltage supplied by the battery |
| Kirchhoff's current law | if current flows into a branch in the circuit, the same amount of current must flow out again |
| short circuit | a circuit path with very low resistance |
| best design for Holiday lights - series or parallel | parallel |
| Ohm's Law | I = V / R |
| Why aren't birds electrocuted on wires? | Bird's body has a higher resistance, current stays in wire (easier), both feet on same wire, same voltage |
