Series or Parallel Circuits

There is a single pathway by which charge can flow through the circuit from the + terminal to the - terminal of my batteries.

• Series Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

There are multiple pathways by which charge can flow through the circuit from rom the + terminal to the - terminal of my batteries.

Any charge flowing through one of my light bulbs will not flow through any of my other light bulbs.

• Series Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

When one of my light bulbs goes out, all the light bulbs will go out.
