CIRCUITS

Definition of a series circuit: A circuit that contains only one possible path for electron flow supplied by a common voltage source.

A series circuit is wired with only one path for the current to flow through all the devices in a
row and back to the starting point. The same current flows through each part of a series circuit. If the circuit is broken at any point there wont be any current that will flow. In the above circuit, electricity flows from the battery to each bulb, one at a time, in the order they are wired to the circuit. In this case, if one of the bulbs blew out, the other bulb would not be able to light up

because the flow of electric current would have been interrupted. In the same way, if one of the
bulb was unscrewed, the current flow to both the bulbs would be interrupted. If the circuit were a string of light bulbs, and one burned out, the remaining bulbs would also turn off.

Definition of a Parallel circuit: A circuit that contains two or more paths possible paths for electron flow supplied by a common voltage source. A parallel circuit is wired with two or more paths for the current to flow through all the devices parallel circuit design. In this case, because electricity can flow in more than one path, even if one of the bulb blows out, the other bulb will still have electrons flowing through it and it will continue to glow. In the same way, if one of the bulb is unscrewed, it would not prevent the other bulb from lighting up. If the circuit were a string of light bulbs, and one burned out, the

remaining bulbs would continue to be lit. Parallel circuits are the types of circuits, that are found
in a house. Obviously, when you turn off your lamp, it doesn't turn off your TV. Connecting bulbs in parallel allows each to shine equally brightly.

 What is Resistance??? The flow of electrons or electricity depends on how cases the bulbs provided the resistance. In a series total resistance of all the bulbs. The more bulbs in the parallel circuit, there are multiple paths through which
circuit, the dimmer they will be lit. In a
circuit, the resistance in the circuit equals the much resistance is in the circuit. In the above

the overall circuit is lower than it would be if only one

resistance means that the current will be higher and the
path was available. The lower the

the current can flow, so the resistance of

the same number of bulbs arranged in a series circuit

bulbs will be more brighter compared to
