Mo9-L2b: What are the Two Types of Electric Circuits?
Key Concept The voltage measured across a part of a circuit tells
you how much energy is used to move electrons
What are the Two Types of Electric Circuits? through that part of the circuit.
How do the two types of electric circuits differ?
SUMMARY
What are the Two Types of Electric Circuits?
A series circuit is one of two types of electric
Voltage and Electric Energy circuit.
One coulomb of electrons is a huge quantity—
approximately 6,000,000,000,000,000,000 electrons
Voltage is related to the amount of electric
energy transformed in a circuit.
The voltage of an electric circuit is the amount of
energy used to move one coulomb of electrons
through the circuit.
