Ch.8 Lesson 2 Series Circuits

Target Language or Knowledge:

1. Not all batteries are made of the same materials. 2. All batteries change chemical energy into electrical energy. 3. In a series circuit, current (electrons) flows through only one path around the circuit. 4. Appliance service technicians check appliances such as refrigerators, dryers, and ovens for different problems. 5. When the wires get too hot, the fuse will melt and break the circuit. 6. A dry-cell battery is an electric source with a dry or paste-like center. 7. In a flashlight, dry-cell batteries are usually connected in series. 8. Batteries in series increase the voltage of the circuit. 9. Series circuits have a disadvantage. 10. Most cars have wet-cell batteries.
