What is a circuit? a complete closed path which is made of little wires that help electrons flow.
Explain the difference between series and parallel circuits.
- Series circuit- the circuit is one in which all the components are connected one after the other.
- Parallel circuit- the components in the circuit are parallel to each other. The current has different paths to take around the circuit.
Show a parallel and series circuit with 2 batteries, 2 bulbs, and a switch.
- parallel-
- series-
What is voltage? the measurement of how much energy the current is carrying.
How does it differ in series and parallel?
- series- the current is shared between the components
- parallel- the current is the same in all locations.
What is current? the flow of electrons
How does it differ in series and parallel?
- series- the current is the same in all locations.
- parallel- the current is shared between the components.
