Simple Circuits

A circuit is a closed loop that can carry current. In this topic, you will learn about current and voltage relationships in circuits. You will build circuits using a simulator and make measurements to discover current and voltage relationships. You will apply your knowledge of current and voltage to analyze these different arrangements of circuit elements.

Essential Questions:

• What are the differences between series and parallel connections in circuits?   
• How do adding elements in series and parallel affect the total resistance of the circuit?
