| parallel circuit | more than one pathway for charge to flow |
| electric current | flow of charge |
| series circuit | only one pathway for charge to flow |

| Thales | discovered the "force" in amber |
| conductor | material allows charge to flow through it |
| resistance | opposition to the flow of current |
| amperes | measures electric current |
| potential difference | the amount of work needed to move a charge |
