... In this lab we will be introduced to TWO new schematic symbols, This is called a variable resistance, also known as a dimmer switch. There are THREE connections, one on each end and one in the middle. This is called an LED, light emitting diode. This is a great example to illustrate the photoelectri ...

Parallel and Series Circuits - Science Education at Jefferson Lab
... There are two general types of electrical circuits: parallel and series. Parallel circuits contain more than one complete pathway for the flow of electricity. One pathway can be blocked without impeding the flow of electricity in the other branches. Series circuits, however, contain only a single pa ...

... electrical circuit is a series circuit. In a series circuit there is only one path for the electrons to flow. The disadvantage of this type of electrical circuit is that if there is a break in any part of it, then the entire circuit is opened and therefore will not allow an electrical current to flo ...

Switch
In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can break an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another.The mechanism of a switch may be operated directly by a human operator to control a circuit (for example, a light switch or a keyboard button), may be operated by a moving object such as a door-operated switch, or may be operated by some sensing element for pressure, temperature or flow. A relay is a switch that is operated by electricity. Switches are made to handle a wide range of voltages and currents; very large switches may be used to isolate high-voltage circuits in electrical substations.
