Review of Electrical Energy

When it comes to working with electricity, knowing the properties of materials is important. Some materials allow electricity to pass through them freely. Others block its flow.

​

• ​Conductors - allow electricity to easily travel through them.

• ​Insulators - Prevent the flow of electricity.

• ​Electricty requires a closed path to flow.

• ​An electric circuit is a compelte pathway made of conductors through which electric current can flow.

• ​Resistors or switches causes electric charges not to flow readily.

• ​Electrical circuits need a power source.

• ​Electric circuits convert electricity to other forms of energy like mechanical and sound energy.

• ​A series circuit only has one path to follow to and from the energy source.

• ​A parallel circuit contains two or more paths for electric charges to follow.
