what is a series circuit
a series circuit are connected from end to end
what is a parallel circuit
parallel circuits are connected side by side
How is the current affected in:
*A series circuit
*A parallel circuit
The current in a
series circuit
is the same throughout (I
1=,
I
2=,

)
Parallel circuits
:The current in the branch loops add up to the total current in the main loop. (I
1+

How is the
voltage
affected in a
*Parallel circuit
*Series circuit
Series
:Voltage across each light add up to the total (V
