Warm-up
• Discuss amongst your group which circuit would conduct the most electricity: A parallel circuit or an open circuit

Electrical circuits
• When we want to light a lightbulb with wires and a battery all the parts must be connected in order for electricity to flow
• A set of electrical components connected such that they provide one or more complete paths for the movement of charges
![Page 20: Section 2 Current. Voltage and Current Electrical Potential Energy: the ability to move an electrical charge from one point to another. Depends on position.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ea35503460f94ba7d9b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Parallel circuit
• A circuit in which all of the components are connected to each other side by side
• The current in each item doesn’t have to be the same.
