CIRCUITS
Will the CIRCUIT work?
Still confused about open and closed circuits?  Think
about the flow of electricity as a V.I.P. Club.

V.I.P. Clubs do not just allow anything in, you have to
meet different requirements to enter the club.
If the V.I.P. Club is closed,
that means that the club is
RESTRICTED for electricity
ONLY.  

The lights are all on and the
electric party is jumpin'. Only
ELECTRICITY IS INVITED!
If the V.I.P. Club is open, that
is NOT letting ANYONE in.  

The lights are all off and there
is nothing happening.  
NO ONE IS INVITED!

What kind of a CIRCUIT is created?
Cannot tell the difference between series and parallel circuits?  Think of the
letter S for series and L for parallel.  

There is ONE path that connects the S in series to the other S








There is MORE THAN ONE path that connects the L in parallel to the other L's
