Series and Parallel Circuits

In this type of circuit the current is the different depending on where in the circuit it is measured.

• series

• parallel

In this type of circuit the voltage is the same everywhere in the circuit.

• series

• parallel

In this type of circuit the current is the same everywhere in the circuit.

• series

• parallel

In this type of circuit the voltage drops (is different) with multiple resistors on it.

• series

• parallel

In this type of circuit there are multiple pathways for current to follow.

• series

• parallel

This type of circuit is has multiple branches.

• series

• parallel

In this circuit arrangement, if one bulb is unscrewed all of the other bulbs will go out.

• series

• parallel

In this type of circuit arrangement, when one bulb is unscrewed the other bulbs will stay on.

• series

• parallel

In this type of circuit there is only one pathway for current to follow.

• series

• parallel

In this type of circuit when another light bulb is added the brightness of the first bulb dims
