Scanned with CamScanner Types of Circuits In the investigation that you just completed, Circuit A was a series circuit. Aseries circuit has only one conductive path. In this type of circuit, the resistance increases with each resistor added. Electric charges travel through all of the resistors, one after another. As resistors are added, the energy each resistor receives is decreased. If one lightbulb ina series circuit goes out, the others will go out too because the path of ‘the circuit is broken. Circuit B was a parallel circuit. Circuits in your home are parallel. A parallel circuit has more than one conductive path. The overall resistance in the circuit is smaller, so more current will flow. Electric charge flows through all paths at the same time in a parallel circuit! If one path is, broken, the current flows through the remaining paths. Ashort circuit is a path that has little or no resistance that connects two ends of an electrical source. Short circuits cause currents large enough to damage appliances or start fires. Frayed wires can cause short circuits. __ Make It Work: Revisit @ Use your observations from the Inquiry Activity, Make It Work, to create a model that shows how electric current is transferred in a circuit to get the lightbulb to work.

Electricians are responsible for safely wiring buildings. These wires allow electricity to flow to all areas of a house or other building. Lights, computers, televisions, and many other devices run on this electricity. Electricians also repair or replace faulty wiring, transformers, circuits, fixtures, and breakers. This is critical when preventing house fires due to other electrical problems. Electricians use many different tools to do their job. They must be able to read blueprints and other diagrams to properly install wiring. They also inspect existing electrical equipment and identify problems.
