Types Of Electrical Circuits

There are basicly three types of basic electronic circuits a Series Circuit, Parallel Circuit, and Series
Parallel Circuit this is a combination of both series and parallel circuits.
Series Circuit:
A series circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name
from only having one path for the charges to move along. Charges must move in "series" first going to
one resistor then the next. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through
the circuit because there is only one path. There is no alternative route
Parallel Circuit:
A parallel circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name
from having multiple (parallel) paths to move along . Charges can move through any of several paths. If
one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through that path, but other paths will
continue to have charges flow through them. Parallel circuits are found in most household electrical wiring.
Series Parallel Circuit:
The type of circuit is a combination of both series and parallel. Electric current travels through both
circuits.
