Electrical Circuits Series Circuit Parallel Circuit Short Circuits Series Circuits •Has only one path for electricity to flow •If any part of the circuit is broken, then all lights will go off. •Ex’s: Christmas tree lights •In a series circuit, the light bulbs are DEPENDENT of each other. •It is like adding pinches to a hose. Draw this Circuit In your Notes!!! Parallel Circuits •Has multiple paths for electricity to flow •If any part of the circuit is broken, the remaining lights will stay on. •Ex’s: your home!! •In parallel circuits, the light bulbs are INDEPENDENT of each other. •They have no effect on each other. Draw this Circuit In your Notes!!! Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law States that all voltage changes in any closed circuit must add up to zero. Basically…what goes in must come out!!! •Are very dangerous because they Short Circuits create a huge amount of current •Circuit breakers and fuses are safety devices that prevent too much current from flowing inside wires. •If too much current flows the wires will melt and a fire will start! •Some reasons for short circuits: •Broken or damaged wires •charging a car battery the wrong way cience • What type of circuit is this? • SERIES ense Time! • What type of circuit is this? • PARALLEL cience • What type of circuit is this? • SHORT ense Time! • What type of circuit is this? • SERIES cience • What type of circuit is this? • SERIES ense Time! • What type of circuit is this? • PARALLEL cience • What type of circuit is this? • PARALLEL ense Time! • What type of circuit is this? • SERIES Foldable Format!!!
