| electric circuit | the path along which negative charges flow |
| open circuit | a break in the electrical pathway, path is incomplete |
| closed circuit | no breaks in the electrical pathway, path is complete |
| series circuit | circuit with one path for the electricity to flow |
| parallel circuit | circuit with more than one path for the electricity to flow |
| overheated circuits | circuits that have too much electricity flowing through them |
| electric current | the continuous flow of negative charges |
| fuses | opens an overheated circuit by melting the wire in it |
| circuit breakers | a switch that opens an overheated circuit |
| volts | the unit of measure of the push of electricity |
| amps | the unit of measure the amount of electrical current |
| watts | the unit of measure of electrical power |
| conductors | materials that let electricity pass through them easily |
| insulators | materials that do not let pass through them easily electricity |
| switch | an object that open and closes a circuit easily |
