what happens when magnets pull together or stick to one another.
What is attract?
400
a complete circuit through which electricity flows.
What is a closed circuit?
400
electricity splits into two or more pathways before coming together at the battery.
What is a parallel circuit?
400
a coil of wire, usually wound around a core of iron or steel, which produces a magnetic field when electricity flows through the wire.
