Circuits – Series or Parallel:
31. Compare and contrast series and parallel circuits when working with light bulbs and batteries.

a. How do these circuits differ when
the light bulbs are arranged in either
series or parallel?
 series – light bulbs are
dimmer; all bulbs must be
functioning
 parallel – light bulbs are
brighter; bulbs can be
removed and the rest will
continue to shine
b. How do these circuits differ when the
batteries are arranged in either series or
parallel?
 series – the voltages of the
batteries are added together
 parallel – the voltage does not
change
