Circuits

How a Blender Gets Power• A Generator at a power plant produces a voltage

difference across the outlet• Causes charges to move when the circuit is

complete• Blender and circuit in the house contain

conducting wires to carry the current• Blender turns electrical energy into kinetic energy

and sound • When unplugged or turned off, an open circuit is

created breaking the path of the current

Series Circuit• Current has only one loop to flow through

What would happen if your home was wired in a series circuit and

you turned off one light?

Parallel Circuit• Contains two or more branches for current to

move through
