Electrical circuit
Series Current
-
-
Since only one path if some electrons flow through R1, then
they have to continue flowing through R2 and R3.
-
Series circuit
The components are connected end-to-end, one after the other.
-
-
-
Resistance
-
-
Parallel
-
The more paths, the less TOTAL resistance.
Since the circuit offers two equal pathways for charge flow, only 1/2 the charge will choose to pass through a given branch.
Series Vs Parallel
Series
-
-
-
-
-
As voltage increases, current increases
The more devices (resistors) in a series circuit, the less current passes through (dimmer bulbs).
-
Parallel
-
The more devices (resistors) in a parallel circuit, does not decrease the current (does not dim bulbs).
-
-
-
Voltage
Series
-
The higher the voltage, the faster electrons will flow through the conductor.
-
-
Parallel
-
Voltage drop across the resistor that it chooses to pass through must equal the voltage of the battery.
