Circuit Branch - a path in a circuit that contains a single element or a group of elements between two nodes (connection points), Current dividers - uses resistors in series or parallel to produce an output voltage that is a fraction of the input voltage (voltage divider) or to divide current into branches (current divider), load - any component that consumes electricity in circuit, such as a light bulb or a motor., parallel circuits - an electrical circuit where multiple paths exist for current to flow, causing the total current from the source to split among the branches, Chassis ground - an electrical connection to the metallic enclosure of a device, often used to provide a stable reference point for circuits and to protect against electrical shock, circuit breakers - n automatic electrical switch designed to protect a circuit from damage by interrupting the current flow during an overload or short circuit, earth ground - safety connection to the physical planet, while "ground" can also mean a reference point in a circuit or a common return path for current, series circuit - an electrical circuit with a single, unbroken path for current to flow through all its components, voltage drop - decrease of electric potential along the path of a current flowing in a circuit., voltage polarity  - indicates which point in a circuit has a higher electrical potential, typically marked as positive (+) or negative (-), and determines the direction of current flow,
