- Open Circuit: An electric circuit in which the current flow is interrupted by a broken wire or an open switch.
- Closed Circuit: An electric circuit in which the current flows through an uninterrupted path.
- Series Circuit: An electric circuit in which the current flows through one path and a break in the circuit prevents the current flow.
- Parallel Circuit: An electric circuit in which the current flows through more than one path. A break in the circuit does not prevent the flow of the current.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of open and closed circuit worksheet.
