The current flowing out of the power supply always mimics the current flowing back in. Resistance in a circuit reduces the flow of power. It also cause the charge to lose energy. (voltage drop) across the component. `
In a series circuit the current is halved because there is shared between. The 2 bulbs.
In a parallel circuit there is half the overall resistance so twice the current flows before it splits. Each bulb gets the full energy.
an electrical circuit in a device of lower resistance than that of a normal circuit, especially one resulting from the unintended contact of components and consequent accidental diversion of the current.
An electronic component is any basic discrete device or physical entity in an electronic system used to affect electrons or their associated fields

Resistance
Voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points.
DescriptionAn electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point or region. An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire
The electrical resistance of an object is a measure of its opposition to the flow of electric current. The inverse quantity is electrical conductance, and is the ease with which an electric current passes.
An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely; very little electric current will flow through it under the influence of an electric field.
Milliamp
Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light.
If electrocuted it will not kill you it will just shock
A milliamp (mA) is a unit of measurement for an electric current flowing through an electrical conductor and a measure of the rate of flow of electrons. ... A milliamp is equal to one-thousandth of an ampere. Thus, one milliamp is equal to 0.001 amperes. A milliamp may also be known as a milliampere.
it can kill you if the shock is to strong
