Series & Parallel Circuits Sage Project Series Circuits • The electrical components connected in line or in a single path. – If 1 component dies or breaks there will be no flow of electricity and nothing will work. • Old style Christmas lights (If 1 burned out none would work) Parallel Circuits • The electrical components are connected across parallel paths allowing the electrical energy to flow evenly across multiple paths. – If 1 component dies or breaks the electricity will still flow across the other legs and all other components will still work. • New style Christmas lights (If 1 burned out the rest still work) Series-Parallel circuit • • A series parallel circuit combines both a parallel circuit and a series circuit by either having a series circuit before, or after the parallel component, as on or more leg of the parallel circuit or a combination of these. If a portion of the series component goes down nothing that follows that portion will work as the circuit has been broken, however if the parallel components still have energy Voltage Loss & Flow of Energy • Voltage loss – Lights in series – Lights in Parallel • Flow of Energy – What would happen if the switch was parallel to the rest of the circuit? – What would happen if the switch was in series with the circuit?
