Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

The current flowing in a series circuit is the same everywhere. Figure caption, A series circuit with two bulbs and one cell. The ammeter will read the same at points 1, 2 or 3. In series circuits ...

Two lamps connected in series with ... same throughout a circuit and voltages add up to the supply voltage. Components that are connected on separate loops are connected in parallel.

As with series circuits containing resistances, inductances, and capacitances, if the inductive reactance of a parallel circuit equals the capacitive reactance, the circuit is said to be resonant at ...

However, this is a great time to look at the difference between series and parallel circuits. A Simple Circuit. Just about the simplest circuit you can create uses just one battery and one light bulb.

"You can build circuits straight on to paper, even in a spiral notebook," says Jie Qi, a member of the High-Low Tech Group at the Media Lab. Here she explains how to draw your connections.
