• Parallel circuit • Series circuit • Electrical appliance

Yep – follow those lines!

Question 5

What happens if a circuit has only one wire connected to each end of a battery:

• It causes a short circuit • It contains a very powerful charge• The voltage travels slowly

True - no short circuits for you!

Question 6
