GIS Series and Parallel Circuits

What kind of circuit is this?

• Series
• Consecutive
• Parallel
• Training

• Series circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Series circuit - Bulbs are off
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are off

In a parallel circuit if one of the light bulbs burns out the rest _________.

• stop the flow of electricity
•  can still light up
•  will go out
• of the light bulbs burn out also

This is an example of a -------- circuit.

What is a Series Circuit?

• A circuit with more than one path way for current to flow

• A circuit with one path way with one switch.

• An electric circuit with a single path for current to flow.

• Two circuits with one path way for current to flow

What is an Electric Current

• The pathway through which electric current (electron) flows.

• A Parallel Current

• A series current

What is Parallel Circuit?

• A wire that has a battery and a switch.

• A circuit that contains more than one path for current flow.

• A circuit that contians one path for current flow

• A circuit with a switch
