IV. Circuits
A. There are two types of circuits – series and parallel.
B. Series Circuits
1. Have only one path for the electrons to move along.
2. Have more resistance so the charge is weaker and the
light will glow less bright.
3. If one light in a series circuit burns out the others will
not light.
C. Parallel Circuit
1. Has more than one path for the electrons to move
along.
2. Has less resistance so the lights burn more brightly.
3. If one light in a parallel circuit goes out the others will
stay lit.
VI. Batteries
A. Batteries are a source of electricity.
B. The points where electricity leaves a battery is called its
terminals.

lined up in the same direction.
B. All magnets have 2 poles a north and south poles.
1. Opposite poles of a magnet attract.
2. The same poles of a magnet repel.
