This program begins by exploring electric current and the role it plays in electrical circuits. The various parts of an electrical circuit are described. Parallel circuits and series circuits are compared. The program concludes by demonstrating some fundamental concepts of electrical safety. Other important terminology includes: resistance, switch, fuse, circuit breaker, short circuit, ground prong, and electric potential difference.
